A tiny dance floor with a bright pole dancing pole in the centre, and a Chinese pole, a few accessories, makeup and a body in action… Using this simple staging, Juglair continues her exploration of “gender”, which she examined in her first solo show, Diktat, and in Plastic Platon, created with Julien Fanthou. Accompanied by live music played by Lucas Barbier, she goes through a series of transformations, from drag queens to drag kings, making her way through stereotypes between burlesque and ridiculousness, in a mixture of the sexes, to the point of losing her feminine and masculine sides.

Drawing from her own experience, from childhood to her work as a woman in the highly masculine circus discipline of the Chinese pole, she builds a show combining existential questions and various theories about gender, amidst incredible feats of balance, technical skill and strength. In this zany and crazy universe, beyond all the rules and norms, Juglair uses a full range of intimate, clownish, singing and acrobatic techniques to shatter gendered representations and play with our pre-conditioned ideas. By playing both the freak and the freak showman, in the tradition of the circus freaks of the past, Dicklove exudes incredible energy and asserts itself as a vibrant ode to freedom. It is a delightful and unique performance full of humour that changes our perspectives.
