Bettina Szabo
Habitat

A duet for a dancer and a paper sculpture. Inspired by hermit crabs, the artist moves in step with the shell she calls home. The story of Bettina’s immigration unfolds as she operates lights and music to create a multiform landscape. Exploring somatically in hope of decolonizing herself from the successive layers of cultural, social, and family identities, she creates moving tableaux. As the piece progresses, she must negotiate the constricting space. Inevitably, one last migration is necessary to leave “Hermes” behind and adopt a new shell, one that is less physical and more atmospheric.

Onstage: Bettina Szabo. Collaborators: Alexandra Bachmayer, Thibaut Carpentier, Ana Dall'Ara-Majek, Jacinthe Derasp, Morena Prats.

Alexandre Morin & Jonathan Goulet
On the Brink

Two bodies excavate a sculptural ecosystem that vaguely recalls an artificial nature. The space becomes an obscure terrain for a dystopian ritual. The performers search, examine, and imbue themselves in this synthetic world; an ecofuturistic exploration where the deconstruction of the site, its transformation from one state to another takes the audience into the microscopic realm of sound. The vibrations provoked by manipulating raw materials sends an earthquake through our inner landscapes, moving our muscles, our fluids, and our cells. What can be unearthed when we delve into the memories of our bodies as they come in contact with this strange land?

Onstage: Jonathan Goulet, Alexandre Morin. Collaborators: Hugo Dalphond, Mathieu Leroux, Sophie Michaud, Angela Rassenti, Pascale Girardin.
