The Franco-Swiss dancer Auguste de Boursetty and the Polish performer, singer, and poet Alex Freiheit present *Heavy, baby*, a work that explores the darkness of adolescence. In a chiaroscuro atmosphere, the bodies of the two performers navigate fragments of memory, contradictory sensations, absurd games, and suspended impulses.

Amid dance, performance, and live music, the images unfold like visions: sometimes ironic, sometimes unsettling, always filled with bodies that overflow and defy boundaries.
*Heavy, baby*
is a sort of lost tale, suspended between dream and nightmare. Two angels who have fallen from the sky find themselves in an abandoned music club, amid echoes of the past, cracked laughter, and seemingly innocent memories. Little by little, the boundaries between the tender and the monstrous dissolve, allowing the voices that continue to inhabit the ruins of adolescence to emerge.
