DAD IS DEAD

Is it possible to engage in a conversation about the state of the world while riding a bicycle? Indeed, you can, as shown by the talented acrobats Arnaud Saury and Mathieu Despoise. And they do it while performing an array of impressive and daring artistic stunts: They ride together, backwards and forwards, circling for forty-five minutes, climbing over one another, and striking various poses that showcase extraordinary balance and athleticism.

The speak relentlessly, touching on an eclectic mix of topics. They discuss the sustainability of organic bananas, the illustrious career of Nana Mouskouri, the challenges faced by conjoined twins who undergo separation. They talk about modern individual's desire for acceptance while preserving a unique identity. Could their dialogue also be about the intricacies of human relationships and sexuality? Perhaps, as life is undeniably complex. The performance concludes with an aperitif for the artist.
