Two naked men face each other across an empty space. They are armed, but only with words – the words of Gustave Flaubert’s re-spinning of ‘The Legend of St Julian’.
The signal is given, the contest begins. As the combatants clash in a series of increasingly frenetic encounters, the narrative of Flaubert’s tale of medieval murder unfolds and builds towards its mystical conclusion.
Flesh / fiction, body / word – literary salon collides with ancient Olympics, ‘Naked Boys Reading’ classical Greek style!
