More specifically, duo acts where the theme of romance is very present in opposite-sex couples, but is practically non-existent when it comes to same-sex couples. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We discuss the creative process of making romance an act, and the challenges one faces when trying to represent gay romance on stage in a way that is both enjoyable and not too subtle to be read,&#8221; explains Eric. &#8220;This is a topic I&#8217;ve been reflecting on for some time, and the video is presented as a visual podcast created from my own thoughts and a series of interviews I conducted with friends from various sectors of the industry.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Among them are artists from Cirque du Soleil, Casus, Chivaree Circus\/Independent, and a professor from the National Centre for Circus Arts in London.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iYHfjNzjn0I&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Watch the video soon!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Too curious to wait?
