Appris Par Corps

Startling, daring and unusual, Compagnie Uu Loup Pour l’Homme’s debut show Appris Par Corps, in which two brothers explore their relationship through the language of acrobatics, is circus-theatre that goes far beyond mere physical prowess.

Artists Alexandre Fray and Frédéric Arsenault – award-winners at the Jeunes Talents Cirque, Paris (2006) – explore emotions from tenderness and attraction to violence, loneliness and fear. This is done through a powerful duet reflective of their company’s name – a play on the ancient Roman proverb ‘Man is a wolf to man’.

Appris Par Corps iis part of Paris Calling – a Franco-British season of theatre arts through the Institut Français, London – and London International Mime Festival. It is suitable for theatregoers aged seven and older.
