BEING HEARD HEARING
CAI GLOVER
20 MINUTES
A veritable celebration of difference, this solo embodies a poetic response to the objectifying gaze of normalization. At the origin of its aesthetic lies a “hard-of-hearing essence,” that is the particular way in which this choreographer-performer expresses movement and sound. Freed from following the music and unshackled from the rigour of past ballet training, his dancing exudes an unkempt energy. Re-enacted scenarios from the dancer’s autobiography loosely underpin the abstract narrative: the loss of hearing, walking in the garden of a new self, re-discovering communication… The human vessel is, after all, alterable!

SOVANN ROCHON-PROM TEP
30 MINUTES
This solo places empathetic exchange with the audience at its core. You enter an intimate, stripped-down space without theatrical trappings: no lighting design, scenography, dramaturgy or – for that matter – choreography! Carrying with him his experience with the contemporary dance and breaking cultures, the dancer draws inspiration from his own life to nourish his reponse to the present moment. For him, performing is virtually a way of being: paying meticulous attention to his decision-making process and to the experience of time. He takes advantage of the freedom that performance provides to test and redefine his way of communicating.
