Sweat Baby Sweat is almost the opposite of what a dance performance is supposed to be: there are not a lot of dynamics or build-up to a climax. It is a performance that slowly dies out, as does the relationship that it presents. Two people cling onto each other – like parasites – and little by little, each consumes the other's energy.

For this performance, Jan Martens (BE) was inspired by the concentration, intensity and symbolism of circus acrobatics. Sweat Baby Sweat is a sensual and slow-moving work that connects acrobatic power and strength with mental fragility. The soundscape and text projections add subtle commentary to the choreography.
