Somos à Riga en Lettonie – Rīgas cirks

Compagnie Bêstîa “Somos”

We live in a divided world where each of us tries to affirm or even claim an identity, to justify our existence. A world where the word «freedom» does not mean the same thing, depending on whether we are born in Paris, Kabul or Bogota. The show “Somos” is looking for a common language of mankind and itries to translate the sign language into an acrobatic language to evoke the beauty and the difficulty of what unites humans in all countries of the world.

Acrobats question in a very physical and frontal way our relationship with others: trust, complementarity and metaphorically, the question of coexistence. The acrobat’s first language is based on the body and on choreographic gestures. We are acrobat and for the past seventeen years we have been working as a duo performing acrobatic lifts.
