TECHNOLOGIES CONTEMPLATIVES

ÈBE
SARAH BRONSARD & PATRICK SAINT-DENIS
35 MINUTES
Èbe is born out of a desire to stage phenomena beyond our grasp, yet that still influence and guide us. Inspired by the movement and sounds of a chorus of accordion-robots – as if extra-human lungs – the piece explores tides, their incessant and vital fluctuation evoking a deep breath. The performer synchronizes her movement phrases with the instruments to examine the communicative dimension of breathing. She investigates the cracking and rubbing noises emitted by the accordions, nourished by the traces that the flamenco tradition has inscribed deeply in her body. A metaphoric question emerges: what is revealed when the tide goes out?

KALÉIDOSCOPE
KIM-SANH CHÂU
30 MINUTES
Midway between dance and installation, this performance is a colorful and sensorial voyage in which bodies reveal their subconscious and fleeting dreams. The dancers navigate through various geometric positions with a gentle physicality, evoking imaginary dream-like landscapes. Spectators slip into a foggy and surreal universe with the help of kaleidescopic glasses whose lenses multiply images and alter their coloring. With this work, the choreographer materialises and opens up her synesthesic realm of color, music and emotion. It is pale pink, purple with Persian blue and gold accents. The body is infinitely reproduced. And then, it disappears.
