“À mesure – Handle with care” | Accompany ME (Italy / Lithuania / France)
Age guidance: 8+
Show duration: 50 mins
Accompany ME is inspired by the English word “pace”, as it indicates the rhythm, the step, the cadence. It recalls the sharing of a journey with another person.
With this work two female artists want to leave a positive and heartwarming message. The performance offers a glimpse into the intimate space of a relationship: it shows the teamworks that is necessary to make things work… The goal is to keep on going, together.
The Cyr wheel language is explored in all its directions, as well as it is combined with the use of some objects, such as eggs, known for their fragility. “À mesure – Handle with care” is an allegory of love in life, it’s about finding a common rhythm with another person.
