Transire – Mikaël Xystra Montminy/Compagnie WXWS | 12:00 pm | Place des festivals
Description
Transire is a new take on Jean Cocteau’s play Le jeune homme et la mort choreographed by Roland Petit in 1946. Transire’s goal is to become a danced sequel of Cocteau’s story of a destitute young painter who commits suicide after breaking up with his lover, while infusing it with a contemporary flair. Transire is a poetic and physical metaphor for separation, failure, and grief – big and small- as a way to elevate and transform oneself.

Morceaux Choisis – Louise Bédard | 3:30 pm & 4:30 pm | Place d’Armes
Morceaux choisis is divided into three segments, each corresponding to a change in clothing and choice of accessories. These selected pieces oscillate between dance and performance. They are all accompanied by music by Rachmaninov: élégie, andante sostenuto, and bacarolle allegro molto.
Louise Bédard is passionate about creating, whether it relates to movement, space, music, etc.
