A new language for an ancient discipline.
Duo Soma presents an entirely new vision of the perch — one of circus’s most traditional disciplines — combining its extraordinary physical demands with modern choreography, sensual movement, powerful physiques, and an evocative contemporary soundtrack.
For the first time, the perch is explored through a sensual and sophisticated artistic language, transforming strength, balance, and risk into an experience built around chemistry, attraction, tension, and visual beauty.
Their highly trained bodies become an essential part of the performance. Every lift, figure, transition, and moment of proximity is carefully choreographed to create a continuous dialogue between power and sensuality, precision and spontaneity.
The result is a production that feels completely unexpected: technically exceptional, visually striking, modern, and unapologetically sensual. The traditional vocabulary of the perch meets a contemporary aesthetic and an original musical atmosphere, creating a concept that has never been seen before within the discipline.
Duo Soma developed this production specifically for Ohlala — Crazy-Sexy-Artistic in Switzerland, one of the world’s most renowned shows for the fusion of circus, music, entertainment, and sensual performance. The concept was born from their desire to explore how the unique physical language of the perch could be transformed through a contemporary and sensual artistic vision.
Duo Soma does not simply perform perch differently, they redefine what a perch act can be.
A unique fusion of acrobatics, physicality, music, sensuality, and theatrical presence, turning an iconic circus discipline into a bold and contemporary spectacle.
