On the program

Echoing the spirit of FQD, the opening night celebrates choreographic diversity through Indigenous roots, contemporary writing and classical flight, with choreographers Barbara Diabo, Charles Brecard and Étienne Gagnon-Delorme of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens.

Etienne Delorme/Grands Ballets Canadiens - Vif (8 min)

Contrast, electronic, dynamic

Influenced by the underground electronic music scene, choreographer and dancer choreographer and dancer Etienne Delorme from Grand Ballets Canadiens presents “Vif”, a short piece of dynamic contemporary ballet that explores themes of security VS vulnerability. A universe of contrasts and intense physicality.

Charles Brecard - Il pleut, il plaint, il rage (30 min)

Melancholic, physical, emotionnal

With Il pleut, il plaint, il rage, Charles Brecard delivers a hard-hitting solo that won an award in Stuttgart in 2023. Carried by intense physicality and melancholy sensitivity, the show explores a muted rage born of our collective powerlessness. Between choreographic finesse and dramatic transformation, the performer swings from contemplation to fury, in a visceral crossing of modern chaos. A cry from the body that becomes catharsis.

A’nó:wara Dance Theatre - Landback Waackers (15 min)

Indigenous, dynamic, positive

Indigeneity meets disco in A’nó:wara Dance Theatre’s bold new project, The Landback Waackers. This unique choreography blends powwow footwork with the expressive arm movements of waacking, weaving Indigenous dance traditions with a contemporary, club-inspired twist. The result is a powerful, evolutionary style that celebrates both community strength and individual freedom. A vibrant and electrifying performance, where the pulse of Indigenous culture meets the energy of the dancefloor.
