Based on Maurice Ravel's musical composition Bolero, which is both a permanent crescendo and pure ecstasy, Rykena/Jüngst embarks in their new production STRIPPING BOLERO on a playful and sensual search for choreographic forms of the climax.

The piece plays with climaxes, breaks them down, reassembles them, and weaves together pieces from drama, dance history, and the construction of climax in striptease. Through dance, sign language, sign language poetry, audio description, and erotic storytelling, a multi-sensory performance emerges in which teasing and sensuality become the aesthetics of access and invitation: the theater space intensifies, tension is maintained, dissolves, climaxes shift, bodies fall to the ground or tell stories backwards.
