‘Some Like it….’
Inspired by the visuals of silent movie and based on the 1920-30’ time period, this sixteen minute aerial/physical theatre act plays freely with gender identities and the comic side of traditional sex roles using cross-dressing to play and question the difference between masculine and feminine.

The act explores ways of integrate new, high level of aerial skills with theatre, movement and strong visual images to develop a narrative show.

In Some Like it the performers are using cross dressing to question, reconstruct and later de-construct the polarised gender roles, so typical for the classic movie narrative. Length: 16 minutes **Can also be performed in a shorter version.
