Agathe and Adrien

​

We are a hand to hand duo. Our duo, Agathe and Adrien, work at the edge of the dance, the circus, and the theater/performing arts. This multidisciplinarity allows us to develop a unique circus vocabulary.

With our numbers, we create a sensible space between us and the public. A space of simple contemplation were the

choreographies build themselves around the tension between tenderness and violence.

Based in Montreal, we are orienting our artistic career towards creation. We adventure in search of chance encounters, shared experiences and, all permitting, a little bit of poetry.
