You don’t just suddenly let yourself be carried by a stranger. It takes time, a delicate search for intimacy and special attention. Alexandre Fray and André Rosenfeld Sznelwar, acrobatic bases, take it in turns to meet women of grandmotherly age. With these elderly women who have never, or rarely, been carried, the acrobats question the stakes of a discipline that the horizon of prowess often leaves in the shadows.

In each performance, they take four or five new women, aged four times twenty, into fragile aerial duets and explore our relationships of trust and dependence, stubbornly pushing back the body’s possibilities. It is an ode to stepping into the void — those extraordinary moments when women old enough to be grandmothers accept for the first time to be carried off the ground.
