Frou-Frou, 'The last decadent gasp'
This piece of physical theatre tells the tale of two Rococo twins and their descent into madness; triggered by their inability to keep up with the social standards of their time. From fly swatting to cake eating debacles, there are too many obstacles in the way of this pompous pair. As tentative air kisses turn to deranged, anatomical tongue bonding - the twins skewer social convention and attempt to liberate themselves from a restrictive era.
