THE LADS - JACK & TIAGO, UK, PORTUGAL - HAND TO HAND 22nd Int. Circus Festival of Italy (2021)

THE LADS - JACK & TIAGO REGNO UNITO, PORTOGALLO - MANO A MANO
Latina, 14/18 Ottobre 2021
Video Direction Cesare Iaboni
Soundtrack: THE BLUE NOTES, "Where is my Mind" - CINEMATIQUE ORCHESTRA, "Tear Us Apart"
Jack e Tiago, in arte The Lads, sono esattamente coetanei: nati nel ’91, Jack nel Regno Unito, Tiago in Portogallo, i due giovani artisti possono già vantare nei rispettivi curricula diverse partecipazioni alle grandi produzioni del celeberrimo Cirque du Soleil. Il loro numero di “mano a mano”, disciplina acrobatica di particolare impatto scenico nella quale ciascuno dei due artisti si affida completamente all’altro, intende celebrare l’amicizia come relazione tra persone che si scoprono vicine come fossero fratelli al di là di ogni reale vincolo anagrafico.
Jack and Tiago, performing as The Lads, are exactly the same age: born in ’91, Jack is from the United Kingdom, while Tiago is from Portugal. These two performers have both already worked for Cirque du Soleil. Their ‘hand to hand’ number, a spectacular acrobatic discipline in which the performers place their trust in each other, celebrates the friendship of two people who discover that brotherhood is not limited to family.

I don't care what anyone says, 2 men interracting with each other shows not only the strength of masculine energy, testosterone at work, and the incredible beauty of man right down to our body hair. Man and woman have the ability to create life while the opposite create energy that eventually leads to beauty and life.

[@4Luv4u]

true, I completely agree!

[@edsonnunesjr7355]

I wholeheartedly agree with the perspective expressed about the powerful interaction between two men. Masculine energy, driven by testosterone, is truly fascinating, manifesting not only in physical strength but also in emotional and intellectual dynamics. The emphasis on male beauty, including the appreciation of body hair, highlights the diversity and uniqueness of each individual. Furthermore, it is interesting to consider how this interaction, unlike the direct creation of life, contributes to the generation of an energy that, in turn, fuels beauty and vitality in various forms. This raises fascinating questions about the nature of duality and complementarity between genders, exploring how different energies can merge to create a balance that enriches the human experience.

Maybe this symbolizes that intimacy between men is something beautiful. For Romans it was normal, even in the army. It is a very powerful expression of love.

[@hellopurrrty]

they just facs

[@willembodied]

@@hellopurrrtythat’s why they’re so amazing

[@AdamBechtol]

It was quite normal for the Romans, although not in the army. ( Or so I've come across) The army was very serious, lots of marching, and fighting, building forts etc... It was like a full-time life-or-death job. You can look it up, I suspect I may have gotten it from the Wikipedia section on "Homosexuality in Ancient Rome."

[@CharlieTrahan456]

@@AdamBechtolActually homosexuality was a military requirement the belief being that it created unity & camaraderie. As well as unions were encouraged because men fought harder when their beloved’s life was quite literally on the line. The Band of Thebes being some of the most famous group of men. 300 men, paired off as 150 unions and fought & were victors over armies in the thousands.

My grandfather used to do this in the 1930s with a friend of his as pure entertainment - before everyone had TVs and even radios. He would squeeze your hand to show he still had it when he was an old man. He lived into his 90’s and only died because of a tree trimming accident. He taught me about self discipline. ❤
