Dans les bras de Bobby

Silencio

Bobby lost his bull. Bobby's life was split between bus tours and bull rides driven by the dream of becoming a Star. In the quest to find his bull and the promise glory of fame, he encounters the woman who thinks like a cow. 

From rodeos to religious practices, the bull has become a symbol of american culture whose fetishism reveals many ambiguities contradictions and possible readings. In Bobby’s arms uses the figure of the bull to consider the ones who ride and the ones who like to watch. The performance invites us to be rocked by the waves of his absence as well as by the fantasies that we cultivate around him.
