vixen
-not to fall under the pressure of improvised movements
by cie tanter (dk)
premiered april 2015
Absurd, insane and magnificent; three women throw themselves at female stereotypes – building them up and tearing them apart. What is a strong woman and what makes her break? Vixen is a power blast of energy, performed with comic timing, absurd images and pathos. The restrictions around presenting yourself as female come to be like the form of a poem, a space vast and rich with resonance. This is a show for anyone who questions the rules of being yourself. With two ropes, contortion and a swinging trapeze, between the elegant and the hysterical, the brutal and the self-controlled, Tanter bring a full-on hour of fanatically female soul flashing explosion.
