Hello,
I have a few pages about acrobats and jugglers, the artists below perform a "Main à main" (hand-to-hand) number, I'm not sure of "s'épuiser contre" in the sentence
"Tristan et Eve sont membres de la Barcode Company. Ils ont conçu ce numéro comme une allégorie de l’insomnie, un moment entre chien et loup où un homme en proie à son tourment quotidien s’épuise contre un adversaire si familier…
Ils se produisent sur The guilty party par Matt Elliot"
...a moment at nightfall when a person prey to his daily torment (maybe daily stress?) ends against such a familiar adversary…I have understood that the daily torment is nothing compared to insomnia (adversaire si familier)
I'd really appreciate any help here, I think might be missing something!
Thank you!
