Forces – Mannès | Turin | Lemaître (BE)

FORCES is a futuristic and immersive ritual – an intense experience where three female practitioners draw us into a universe of forces: earthly, technological and human. As cyborg warrior shamans, they transform their bodies into instruments for something greater – a collective and liberating metamorphosis.

Driven by the irrational, FORCES celebrates the power of life itself. The performance highlights a permeable body in constant transformation – a body in contact with the elements, with chaos, with joy and with community, seeking to reclaim its inner power.
