For the first part of the performance, Montr al Danse will be presenting a reworked version of Solitudes by Dominique Porte, a prolific artist of Quebec's next generation. Conceived from improvisations around words chosen at random from the dictionary and based on a starting point around the idea of nothing, Solitudes is a construction site for possibilities. An abstract choreography, chiselled with a mathematical rigor, gives rise to an infinity of solos, duets and quartets united by the music of Laurent Masl . The costumes are by H l ne Barbeau and the lighting by Marc Parent. Coffee and croissants will be served.
Entry is free.
Since its first performances in 1987, Montr al Danse has forged a unique platform for contemporary dance in Montreal. More than ever, the company has become a genuine site of exploration and creation open to the world. Celebrating its 14th anniversary in 2001, the company has more than 35 original works in its repertory, carriers of sensitivity and intensity with biting gestures, urgent and precise. These performances are part of the Festival Montr al en Lumi re. Montr al Danse warmly thanks the Goethe-Institut for their contribution to the realization of the project with Avi Kaiser.
