Based on an unpublished text by Brigitte Giraud, imagined over the course of conversations, Florence Caillon writes a circus choreography around virility and masculinity.

​

"At a time when the status of women is in great progress in our Western societies, I wanted with this new piece, to question the masculine, the place of man, his identity, and the injunctions to which he is himself also confronted with throughout his construction.

​

What is it to be a man? Is there only one model? What do we call "virility"? Can we choose the man or the woman we want to become?

I particularly want to pass these questions on to the younger generations. I hope they will open up their choices and get rid of overly cumbersome stereotypes. "
