"Shine in your evening outfits, the acrobatic gala is about to begin. The red carpet is rolled out, emotions take center stage—sometimes the less noble ones—in the hopes of receiving the palm. List of nominees, awards ceremony, thank you speeches... Armed with a sharp sense of observation and storytelling, supported by unparalleled technical and acrobatic virtuosity, the nine artists of Back Pocket take on each stage of this ultra-codified event, where hypocrisy and pretenses reign supreme. Behind the facade smiles, rivalry and greed often take the lead. Deep motivations and impulses resurface, amplified by movement: the gestures of speech, the choreography of emotions... Instrumentalizing the audience, objectifying the artist: here, the raw reality of the spectacle society is laid bare, in all its most biting and unvarnished form. A true jubilation!

The latest creation from the Brussels-based contemporary circus company Back Pocket. The show was recorded at Théâtre Beauvaisis-Scène Nationale in Beauvais.
