COIL - Dana Gingras (Animals of Distinction)

COIL – undo, redo, do.

Choreographer Dana Gingras invites audiences to slow down and draw closer to what is essential through a work in which the body becomes a site of memory, transformation, and repair. Performed by the compelling Caroline Gravel, accompanied onstage by violinist Sophie Trudeau of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and featuring scenography by Caroline Monnet, this intimate performance blurs the boundaries between chaos and control, nature and structure.

Inspired by the motif of the spiral, COIL creates a space where the body forgets, remembers, and begins again. Driven by dance, live music, and a strong visual dimension, the work immerses audiences in a sensory experience where slowness, fragility, and resistance become forces of survival and reinvention.
