Agathe & Adrien: N.Ormes

Norton Center for the Arts

A man and woman in matching black pants and tube tops perform an acrobatic trick in front of a white background. While the woman is facing to the left and leaning forward at an angle, the man braces himself against the woman with his feet and hands at the woman's shoulder, and is bending himself along her back as if he is touching his toes.

Blurring the lines between circus show, contemporary dance and performance art, N.Ormes invites audiences to question preconceived ideas. In this physically impressive and touching creation, duo Agathe Bisserier and Adrien Malette-Chénier push the limits and expectations of their own bodies and gender norms.  

Recent graduates of the famed Circus School of Québec, Agathe and Adrien have developed a unique, highly physical circus and dance vocabulary. The duo has worked with renowned cirque companies on European tours and circus festivals worldwide.

N.Ormes will challenge you to question your own assumptions through a touching and intimate journey that will move you with a perfect blend of tears and laughter.
