bang bang is an ordeal. Involving a repetition of jumps and athletic patterns counted in 11, it demands exceptional concentration and physical commitment from the performers.
The intensity of the work gradually reveals the combativeness, stamina, but also the flaws of the human performer. The rigor of the performance is accompanied by the perspiration. Keep jumping becomes at once absurd, poetic and political.
Save the date! We will again celebrate French and Francophone culture with panel discussions, kid's workshops, book signing, french food, a live show and more surprises.
