Production Details
N.OrmesProvocative, dysfunctional and tender, N.Ormes blurs the lines between circus show, contemporary dance and performance art and 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.
"An entertaining performance full of humor and irony.”
– Butterworth
“A provocative celebration of equality.”
– The Scotsman

Agathe & Adrien
The duo, Agathe & Adrien graduated from the Circus School of Quebec in 2018. They work at the edge of circus, dance, and theater/performing arts. This multi disciplinary form allows them to develop a unique circus vocabulary. As emerging artists Agathe and Adrien started their career working for well established circus companies in Quebec. The duo has worked with renowned cirque companies on European tours and circus festivals worldwide.But needing to express their social and environmental values with a committed focus, they started making their own independent circus creations presented in Quebec including Branché, Piece of Mind, Interact and now, N.Ormes.
