Close the door, put your keys on the table, your hooves through my mane, your whip on my flanks, your loins against mine. The poney boys are in a constant state of fusion, attracting then rejecting each other, following their own fleeting desires. How did you get stuck in a cyclical game of domination and submission of mythical resonance with your best bro? (this happens more often than you think)
This show rides (quite literally) the line between heterosexuality and everything else that exists. To those who know, it has some pretty obvious queer coded tension, and to those who don't well, it may spark something or at least resonate as an exploration or virile friendship and expression of love ;) ;) ;) .
Creative approach for this piece
Les Lewski create movement through the use of chimerical costumes, connecting several performers or giving the illusion of a modification of their bodies. The costume seizes control of the body; it may be fought or appropriated. Their irreverent aesthetic is informed by pop culture and designed to create illusions that are immediately deconstructed. From these discrepancies between sound, costume, space and acting, emerges a suspended world defined by a twisting of our once familiar codes.
