Minuit quelque part

CONTEMPORARY DANCE Distilling the unifying power of dance, this show is a journey through movement, featuring ten performers guiding us through seven tableaux imagined by renowned Quebec choreographers, who match each other in virtuosity to get the pleasure of movement to become contagious. Marie Chouinard's inimitable style unites with Anne Plamondon's intimate subversiveness, Kristen Céré's poignant athleticism, Ismaël Mouaraki's intoxicating physicality, Virginie Brunelle's raw sensuality, Lydia Bouchard and Merryn Kritzinger's poetry and Charles-Alexis Desgagnés's explosive dazzle. Living to the rhythm of an electrifying music score, the show gives a glimpse of the many different ways of experiencing the night, where art, finesse and amazement meet.

tanzmainz - Soul Chain

BY SHARON EYAL, GAI BEHAR Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar, an artistic duo whose career path truly dazzles, are constantly exploring the notions of love and desire. Their contemporary dance company is from Germany's Staatstheater Mainz. Soul Chain, created for tanzmainz and winner of Germany's prestigious Der Faust award, is one of their most striking works. But don't expect too much romance, Eyal warns! To the relentless techno beats of DJ Ori Lichtik, a chorus of 17 male and female dancers on demi-pointe "driven by an irrepressible, almost animal, but ultimately solitary desire to break out of themselves" vibrates and pulsates in perfect synergy.
