Compagnie Jus de la Vie

LYNN - Portrait of a woman

In her twisted character we meet a person who has been through it all.
In what way does she face life's exploits? Or does she at all? Absurd, comical and cunning. A woman who is affecting and lets herself get affected. Brutal, physical and touching dance theatre.
