Information on the activity

May 29, 2014 to May 30, 2014

NGS is a foray into street culture, inviting the audience into the very heart of loss, alienation and the various addictions of those who inhabit it. Lara Kramer brings us a raw performance in which the dancers embody with great depth individuals separated from themselves, lost in the citadel of artificial nirvanas.

Lara Kramer Danse is a Montreal-based dance company that support the research, creation and production of Lara Kramer’s choreographies. Founded in 2012, the company has since been invited to perform at festivals in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton and Regina, developing recognition as an Aboriginal voice in Canada.Kramer’s works are intimately linked to memory and her Aboriginal roots. Working with strong visuals and narratives, Kramer’s work pushes the strength and fragility of the human spirit further. Her work is as political as it is potent, often examining political issues surrounding Canada and First Nations Peoples. Kramer has been recognized as a Human Rights Advocate through the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre.
