NIGHT OWLS
COLLECTIF CHA [ DAVID-ALEXANDRE CHABOT & PAUL CHAMBERS ]
40 MINUTES
The live performance is peripheral in this 360o luminous installation whose central proposition is light itself, rendered tangible and transformative. This is literally a staging of light in space. It begins as you are guided into a pitch-black space suffused with a forceful drone. A glowing, floating entity appears, acknowledges your presence, then connects with you through touch. The experience is at once otherworldly, compassionate and humane. Scattered with the other spectators across the seemingly infinite space, you lose your bearings. The space above you then awakens with shifting colours and intensities that leave their imprint on your retina and body. As you are left to your senses, light comes to life.

RITUEL GÉOMÉTRIQUE
ANNIE GAGNON
40 MINUTES
Shiny little diamonds and three-dimensional geometric shapes, touched and handled by the performers, bring into existence a poetic language of moving imagery. A photographer has become the dramaturge for this work, in which light is a crucial ally. Four dancers bend and interlock bodies as if human origami, and from deep inside the folds in their flesh spring sensations that spark emotions. You are close to the performers; the better to feel kinesthetic empathy with the sensuous physicality. The performance is permeated by repulsion, attraction, intuition, love, and spirituality. You are entering a world of beauty, grace, and reflection.
