Cie. du Poivre Rose

Le Poivre Rose

Washing tubs and cauldrons of all forms and sizes are the principal props for the first-ever show by the young French-Belgian Compagnie du Poivre Rose. The metal containers serve as bath tubs for naked men, protection for drowned rats and drums for women who have lost the beat. The rest is simply stupendous circus artistry. And music: the spell-binding Czech violinist and singer Iva Bittová adds her magic to this quirky look at the relationship between the sexes. (kdi)
