Theatre Performance

Sweat

A performance in twelve power acts

Cheering and sweating, the performers develop an intersectional-feminist twelve-exercise event from practices in which they feel like champions. Between dance and empathy, solidarity and compliments, they pay tribute to their herox. This sports event takes its course without competitive pressure, taking instead a critical look at the winners' podium. A moving performance in 12 acts that makes you sweat.
