Dozens of tin cans of all sizes gradually take over the stage, representing sometimes a landfill, sometimes the skyline of a city bristling with high-rises. After the fear of losing one of their own in one of these cans, the Bolek troupe arranges them, setting the stage for the upcoming cross-dressing performance amid this backdrop of trash. Four female clowns take us on a journey where they appropriate the vile codes of the patriarchy—only to mock them, and above all, to laugh at the behavior of our fellow human beings, particularly the power of seduction men believe they hold. They wonderfully parody male camaraderie and the back-slapping congratulations men give each other. Far from leaving the audience indifferent, they provoke laughter—joyful, but also liberating. How good it feels to laugh at situations we have all experienced! There is genuine intelligence here and an uncommon synergy. Each clown retains her own distinct identity throughout the show, so that the collective never erases the individual. That is what this year's Best Performance Award honors.
