JESSIE GARON / VAZARI DANCE PROJECTS (TORONTO)
25 MINUTES
What on earth could a choreographic replication of quantum entanglement be? In this dance composition, two men are literally – and metaphorically – interpreting the subconscious interactivity between everything and everyone on an atomic level. Movement is mostly pre-determined, but timing is improvised. Throughout this intensely physical piece, you see reoccurring motifs of synchronization, vibration and falling. The dancers wear heavy and loud work boots, evoking a weighted and rooted aesthetic in which nothing is decorative. The composer samples and mixes this onstage noise in real-time. As the performers struggle to move forward together, moments of tension and care appear and disappear. Remaining intently connected, they move in and out of hard circles of light, as if microscopic organisms in a petri dish.

COLLECTIF [LE]CAP & PARTS+LABOUR_DANSE
30 MINUTES
Inspired by the event horizons of black holes, this duet plunges you into the moment between death and survival. The work takes a poetic approach, transposing the celestial to the corporeal and tangible. Embodying both fragility and a combative physicality fuelled by adrenaline, bodies surge, orbit, rise and fall, push themselves to their limits. This choreographic parable stretches the tipping point to reveal perilous moral questions.
