(translation)

The story of everyday acrobatics told by the Australian company 'Dislocate' is a graceful and veiled polemic on the psychological conditioning and the conveniences of life that run the risk of turning into prisons.

The performance has the brilliance of circus acrobats turned actors, who transform every situation into an occasion for development, from simple trials of strength while balancing on the shoulders and the legs, to trapeze acrobatics or aerial acrobatics with ribbons. The artists (Geoffrey Dunstan, Rudi Mineur and Kate Fryer), one gag after another, fly over the heads of the audience without any protective equipment. Even the monotony of office life, made up of rubber stamps and photocopies, becomes for Lloyd a cue to generate acrobatics. The 'photocopier's tango' is a pas-de-deux with a colleague: at heart, we are all acrobats, and love certainly doesn't leave us with our feet on the ground.
