Sometimes I feel like a machine. I forget I was made to touch skin, to feel heat, breath, to have someone’s smile pressed into my neck. I wasn’t made to click. But with you I click. We. Click. Like a clique, a trio, a Ménage à Trois.
In a private chamber, a lonely woman begins to craft the perfect man out of the only thing she knows – her crutches.
A hauntingly beautiful study of love, obsession, loneliness and manipulation, Ménage à Trois is a visually stunning piece of dance theatre from award-winning performer Claire Cunningham and choreographer/video artist Gail Sneddon. Set within an extraordinary, animated environment, it envelops the performers in a surreal, imaginary world. This darkly humorous and deeply personal portrait explores Claire’s twenty-year relationship with her crutches and asks if it’s possible to find love when there are already three of you in the relationship.
