Choreography by: Sylvain Huc. Cie Divergences

With this piece, emerging French choreographer Sylvain Huc shows the research on masculinity he's developed with ten resident performers in Madrid and eight from Toulouse and Barcelona. Through this process, these men have gone in search of themselves, asking themselves questions. they show their masculine figures, replete with desire, addiction, frenzy, tension, abandon and monstrosity. They question the image, representation, deconstruction and expressiveness of the male body. They aim to open a space where they can talk about themselves and their condition, trying to resolve whatever's wrong with their bodies and, in doing so, contradict what writer Virgine Despentes said, which served as inspiration for Sylvain: 'Men love to talk about women because that way they avoid talking about themselves.'
