In 1975, Patti Smith released Horses—a raw rock explosion fused with fiery poetry.
Exactly 43 years later, as if by a wild cosmic echo, three exuberant artists take the stage, fired up by that same contagious passion. In a storm of intense acrobatics and frenzied poetry, they celebrate freedom to a rock soundtrack. They dig deep to uncover and cherish the rebellious lover hidden in each of us. For them, every second burns with meaning.
They seek the edge, the spontaneous beauty of the unexpected, and they flirt with danger.
« Furieuse Tendresse » is a cry. A jubilant spectacle born to express the intensity of life and the present moment. An invitation to connect with our humanity through circus and extremity.
Acrobatic lifts, swinging trapeze, freestanding ladder, juggling.
