Lab of tenderness
Lab of Tenderness is no ordinary performance. It is an experience
that you feel, hear, smell – a play between proximity and distance,
surrender and control. Here, circus and experiential theatre merge
in a series of rituals that touch the core of existence: birth, life, loss.
Without words, you are taken into a world where your body
becomes the centre. You are carried, cradled, wrapped in cloths.
Scents evoke memories, whispers caress your ears, light and dark
play with your perception. A simple gesture – a juggling act with
cloths – takes on a deeper meaning, as if everything revolves
around the space between touching and letting go. Do you dare to
surrender?
