Accompany ME is a contemporary circus company. It is a project of international influence: the performers originate from Italy and Lithuania, both educated and trained in the Netherlands and both living and working in Toulouse, France.
Through their work, the two authors aim to offer their audience a moment of lightness in counterbalance with the more serious themes which they handle - all of this strictly in the language that circus can offer.
The company pursues the theme of gender equality as it is created and performed by two women, in an equal and non-hierarchical relationship.
ABOUT THE SHOW
"À Mesure - Handle with Care" evokes the strengths and vulnerabilities of a relationship between two people. Through the language of the Cyr wheel, two women invite us into their intimate space, sharing glimpses of their daily lives, where they equip themselves with patience and play with the passage of time. There is a wheel, a kitchen, and eggs. And then there is them: sensitive, real, and committed. At the risk of love, the artists bring a comforting story to the stage, in search of a rhythm that brings them closer to one another.
