About this Event
CARRIERS explores themes of guilt, failure, and shame as embodied experiences passed down through generations, shaped by systemic shifts, crisis, or personal tragedies. Through a blend of choreography, language, and sound, it examines the tension between giving in and giving up in post-capitalistic instability of not quite falling through the cracks.
*** Quels sont ces corps, fatigués mais pas prêts de s'abandonner?
