CHEMIN AUX MILLE POUSSES is an interactive dance and music performance for children aged 1 to 5. It explores the vegetation of the forest undergrowth and invites children to sing, dance, and move along with the artists as discoveries unfold.

What grows along my path? Trees, foliage, leaves, flowers? Horsetail and Mullein stand tall with pride. Honeysuckle clings and twirls joyfully. Fern unfurls with enthusiasm, while Columbine, Dandelion, and Nettle stir and are swept into the dance by Poison Ivy and Ragweed. A contemporary dancer and a musician guide you through the imagined trails, inviting you to gather and explore alongside them. The space transforms. Sounds and movements reveal the hidden treasures of nature that dance and resonate within each of us. Your essence awakens from the top of your head to the tips of your fingers and toes. Dance, sing, pulse, and play with the artists as new wonders are discovered.

With a choreographic language shaped by street styles and somatic practices, Lene Boel pushes the boundaries of physical expression. In TRANSHUMANIST, two popping dancers embody a tension between machine and humanity, exploring the upgrade of body and mind with sharp articulation and uncanny presence. A futuristic duet from Boel’s ongoing trilogy on the human condition.

Future, exploration, evolution

Winner of the Prix de la danse de Montréal 2023-2024, Valérie Chartier alias “Taminator aka Lady Maddripp” explores with intensity an intimate chapter of her life marked by anorexia nervosa. Using Krump – her visceral language of choice – and the cello, THIN plunges to the heart of the psychic roots of illness and ego, revealing a universal struggle between control and vulnerability. A raw and authentic choreographic narrative, where every movement becomes an act of truth.

Intense, vulnerability, authentic

Vladimir ‘7Starr’ Laurore, a pioneer of the Canadian krump scene, presents a striking work in which movement becomes the subject of research. At the frontier of science, abstraction and urban dance, Retraced dissects Krump down to its most microscopic details. Surrounded by top-class collaborators, 7Starr pays tribute to its roots while propelling the genre into new sensory and technological territory. An immersive, brutal and luminous experience.

Meticulous, perspective, suspended
