A choreographic piece by dynamic dance duo Janie & Marcio, “Sans toi[T]” draws its inspiration from the sharing of a meal when everyone can take turns talking about their experiences and memories. The original show explores the way our memories shape our identity and how we see the world.
The title “Sans toi[T]”, a French play on word meaning “Without You” and “Without a roof,” suggests the weight of loneliness and how protective a home can feel. Through bold movements, captivating videos and immersive sounds, the audience is invited to revisit their own memories in an unforgettable journey.
Performed by eight skillful dancers, “Sans toi[T]” is a multidisciplinary experience that combines various artistic forms and pushes the boundaries of traditional dance.
“Getting There” explores the subtlety of the human journey, hinting at the importance of the progress we make in our lives, rather than simply reaching a final goal. The dynamic between both dancers represents the steps we take when we have the finish line in sight but are not quite there yet. The special relationship between musician and dancer lies at the heart of “Getting There.” As both a dancer and a musician, Leah Hamel switches from one role to the other throughout the performance, offering a unique blend of two artistic forms.
The “Ceremony for the Echoes of Chaos” solo takes a deep dive into the search for healing amidst global and personal chaos. Through evocative movements and powerful expression, the dancer follows a solemn magical ritual, confronting instability within and around her. The audience is invited to explore resilience and vulnerability through a captivating experience. Every movement reflects the struggle for comfort and meaning in a troubled world. Navigating through the complexity of change, the piece is a harrowing depiction of human experience. “Ceremony for the Echoes of Chaos” is a testament to inner strength and the universal search for healing in the face of adversity. Amara’s cathartic performance confronts and transcends chaos.
Étude No 1 looks at our cycles of transformation, metamorphosis, renewal and reconstruction. One of the main themes is the resilience and impermanence of the human condition. The result is a work in which, like a visceral spasm, the performer topples between self-sufficiency and solitude, vulnerability and determination, provocation and resignation.
Silent Conversations is a sensitive and captivating exploration of human bonds, revealing the multiple emotions that emerge in our interactions. Without saying a word, bodies become language, carrying stories and sensations.
Two performers exchange through movement, moving from the tenderness of a sincere dialogue to the tension of a conflict, from the intimacy of a shared secret to the joy of mutual understanding. A dance in which every gesture becomes a word.
