The Show
N.Ormes is a circus show where the duo Agathe and Adrien pushes the limits and expectations of their own bodies and gender norms. Provocative, dysfunctional and tender, the piece brings the viewer to question their own assumptions.
The story features two protagonists and their relationship navigating between complicity and power struggles. Skilfully combining hand to hand, Icarian games and dance, the stage becomes an arena. One by one, the archetypes fall in battle, giving way to a quest for friendship and fairness through power and fluidity.
With minimal scenography, and the rich lighting of Claire Seyller, we follow their relationship through moments of frenzy and exhaustion. The original score by Simon Leoza takes us through the intimate and grandiose evolution of the protagonists, where the exchange of roles and lifts, like a new language, blurs all our preconceptions.
Following its international success, N.Ormes will be presented in France for the first time at the 2024 Festival d’Avignon !

“They trust not only in the power of silence as a backdrop to tell a story, but also in the emotional intelligence of their audience and the physical resilience of each other’s bodies. This exercise in trust pays off, and at their Fringe premiere, the low-key Canadian duo created one of the festival’s surprise hits.” – The Observer
“Original and visceral” – Fringe Review
“A performance full of humour and irony” – Butterwort
“A defiant celebration of equality in strength” – The Scotsman
“WOW. This piece was genuinely extraordinary.’’ – Edfest Magazine
