THE BOLD, THE BOUND & THE BRITTLE

By Jelena Kostić

At THE BOLD, THE BOUND & THE BRITTLE is a live portrait of the present day on the theatre floor. A new probing performance by choreographer Jelena Kostić, with uninhibited dance, unexpected singing and blackly humorous lyrics.

Meet Virginia: rigid, tough, restrained. Viviane: sarcastic and spastic and not afraid of the devil. And the anonymous V.: taciturn, on edge like a ticking explosive.
They play out their personal, destructive, comfortable and erotic moments to the point of excess. They leave behind the struggle between the fragile and the obscene.
Hinging on a distant and near past, opens THE BOLD, THE BOUND & THE BRITTLE the door to a space where we all shed our uniforms. What remains is our own vulnerable humanity.
