Dabav I Veils of Bollywood I Discovery Showcase

11 September 202216:00Parc du Bassin-à-Gravier

Description

Through physical embodiment of distinct types of compliance, Rameez Karim explores how we modify our behaviour to better adapt to our environment. With a tradition in Bollywood and Indian dance, the choreographer recalls the hurdles and doubts he faced, and the success he enjoyed, when he joined the world of contemporary dance. The dance movements retell his experiences with compliance, internalization, identification, ungratefulness, and refusal to comply, as he tries to respond to various levels of social pressure and scrutiny from information keepers.

Performers
