A LITTLE TENDERNESS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Graphic, capricious and definitely out of control, "A Little Tenderness for Crying Out Loud!", from the Canadian Dave St-Pierre, takes us all down into the same bath (audience and performers), subverting the sacrosanct fourth wall, which is supposed to keep us separate, as well as the current moral codes such as shame, to which it objects with a healthy exhibition Naked, worm-like and wearing long blonde wigs, the guys shout and jump, playing with their willies.  Wearing long dresses and high heels, the girls dance with their ponytails, to the time of the cane wielded by a magazine director who presides this chaos of dualism. A war of the sexes, voyeurism, flips and fights, sex is a child's game, perverse and polymorphous, where humour- at times rebellious and others loving- becomes incarnate in a wild dance with an aquatic finale, which encapsulates the group quite well: a happy bordello (the French, burdel, also means "disorder"), faun-ish and madcap, where playing means "stepping all over the rules." Twenty-six dancers and actors strip down, literally and figuratively, in the most recent effort by the choreographer Dave St-Pierre, from Quebec. Un peu de tendresse bordel de merde! reaffirms the valor of this young choreographer.
