Marie Chouinard
A world première from Montreal’s Compagnie Marie Chouinard is always an invitation to experience the extraordinary. This newly commissioned group piece by Canada’s reigning queen of contemporary dance is full of subtle shades of meaning; a study of the delicate ebb and flow of the agitations of the body.
Based on the notion of time recaptured, this new work combines group movements performed in unison, a living treatise on anatomy and the on-stage presence of strange devices. Live projections will mirror the fluctuations in the music and bodies, and for the first time, Chouinard will create a vocal score to accompany the dance, composing a kind of gentle opera.
