Armour is a performance that explores masculinity, seeking to redefine it and welcome a change that opens its arms to plural love. Starting from the notion of (over)protection that leads to violence, the trio of performers use a language of dance and acrobatic lifts to confront the toxic aspects of virility, particularly its violent side, transforming it and opening a space for necessary fragility. The physical commitment is intense, while leaving plenty of room for gentleness and self-mockery. It serves as a relationship with the other based on listening, trust and welcoming intimacy. By letting themselves slip into relationships of seduction and redefined masculinity, Armour offers a representation of a love that is free and generous, universal and plural, in a joyful complicity with the audience that surrounds the stage.
