La Ronde delves into the complexities of power, desire, and the relentless pursuit of connection. Through ten characters and ten intimate encounters, this production offers a sharp look of who holds power, who is exploited, and who is seen. Far more than an erotic carousel, La Ronde exposes the transactional nature of modern relationships, where the lines between agency, desire, and self-worth are constantly blurred.

In a world obsessed with visibility, image, and performance, this modern adaptation of La Ronde is driven by raw physicality, pulsating contemporary music, and visceral dance. It probes a world where intimacy is currency, sex is a calculated strategy, and everyone is performing for someone. Consent blurs, identities shift, and nothing is quite as it seems.
