SWEET RODEO
Sweet Rodeo is an ode to otherness.
It is a form of resistance against a context where social isolation and virtual connections invade our daily lives.
It is about looking one another in the eye, and an attempt to invent new forms of dialogue rooted in listening, mindfulness, and generosity.
A tribute to the passage of time within our unions, it offers a sensitive and energetic look at our many reflexes of protection and openness.
Sweet Rodeo is an invitation to togetherness, to dive into contact with the other, to discover the most precious parts of ourselves.
