CATHERINE LAFLEUR | STRUGGLE II

Created in 2014
Contemporary dance, suitable for all ages
Life is littered with destabilizing struggles that make us trip and demand from us a great deal of resilience. With both feet, we dive, we jump into the action, we hustle. Inspired by the opposition between individualism and collaboration, dancers resist one another, isolate themselves, then, reassured by the others’ support, they become a constructive whole. Struggle II was created in 2014 for the FQD.
This piece benefited from the Program of Support to Artists in Dance from the Dance Department at the Université du Québec à Montréal.
