Under the flowers

About

“Under the Flowers”, takes us to Southern Mexico to discover the Muxes. These people were born men but live as women and are accepted by their community. They are notably recognisable by the colourful clothes they wear.

The piece, performed by five male dancers who subtly express their inner femininity, offers a dance that is genderless and constantly evolving. The dancers’ movements reflect the singularity of each body through a variety of music, particularly Mexican.

Thomas Lebrun is a true explorer of contemporary dance, and his show “Under the Flowers” is a captivating and emotionally rich experience. He shows us that femininity can be expressed in different ways, without being linked to sexuality. An invitation to reflect on the diversity and singularity of each individual.
