Frédérick Gravel revisits Tout se pète la gueule, chérie, a piece first created in 2010. Fifteen years later, this updated version hits the stage with raw energy and a sharp take on manhood. If you feared it would be more of the same, you clearly don’t know this anti-hero – born from the rock scene and a key figure in Quebec’s new wave of choreographers. On the stage of Maison Saint-Gervais, Gravel unfolds a danced concert, irreverent and biting, that tears apart traditional representations of masculinity. Four men in cowboy boots and tight T-shirts gather around two packs of beer and deliver a series of raw, often absurd, numbers. Through their assumed foolishness, clumsiness or strange violence, they expose and dismantle the flaws of a crumbling patriarchy. It’s wry. It’s messy. It’s smart. And it’s definitely not afraid to throw a punch.
