An entire evening with renowned dancer and choreographer Margie Gillis and The Legacy Project. Margie Gillis performs a solo on an original musical piece from Niko Friesen, and two Legacy Project dancers each execute a solo.

A piece from The Legacy Project, “The Whole Bloomin’ Thing” is inspired by James Joyce’s universe, including his main novel “Ulysses.” As the title indicates, it dives into Molly Bloom’s intimate thoughts, while exploring her environment, social interactions, husband, and intellectual Stephan. It depicts the story of a woman deeply rooted in the natural world, who triumphs in a vibrant celebration of self-assertion despite life’s intricacies. 

By supporting the Legacy Project, Margie Gillis not only preserves our dance heritage, but also keeps it alive, vibrant, evolving and growing, while shaping the future of dance. Every step on this stage is a step towards the dance of tomorrow.

Liminal Phantoms delves into the darker side of the human psyche. Through acrobatic movement and powerful images, the piece explores identity, mental health and social norms. Somewhere between reality and illusion, it invites us into a sensory and introspective experience.

“En take-out stp!” explores movement through hip-hop culture and a unique musical experience. Choreographed and performed by the founding members of the Flow collective, the duo combines several urban dance styles – including breakdancing – and contemporary dance through structured and flexible movements and sounds. 

Fascinated by the human desire for escape and exploration, the performers dive into the concept of freedom through movements and slackening. Even though we can feel freedom anywhere, the longing for discovering new worlds remains, bringing meaning to our lives. Travelling makes us feel alive and allows us to escape, relax, and forget the worries of everyday life. 

As innate means of escape, dance and music are a gateway for artists and audiences alike to communicate their most intimate desires and aspirations.
