WORLD PREMIERE

AT FESTIVAL TRANSAMÉRIQUES IN JUIN 2019

“Three performances, albeit within the frame of Festival TransAmériques, are not enough for this powerful new piece.”
— Robert Everett-Green, The Globe and Mail.com, 31-05-2019

« La nouvelle pièce de Danièle Desnoyers, qui se clôt en beauté et en lenteur, nous a livré de nombreux moments dignes d’une œuvre très savamment construite et dotée d’une solide équipe de production. »
— Caroline Louisseize, Spirale Magazine.com, 31-05-2019

UNFOLD | 7 perspectives is a work that is at once choreographic, scenographic and musical. These three language forms weave together, building chains of strength and tension between instability and movement, between disorder and geometry. Seven performers share their taste for the experiential and for extraordinary physical commitment, in an environment in constant transformation.

A coproduction of the Festival TransAmériques created in residence at Montpellier Danse at l’Agora, Cité internationale de la danse (France), at Armunia in Castiglioncello (Italy), at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and at Circuit-Est centre chorégraphique, with the support of the Faculty of Arts and the Dance Department of the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) as well as the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture.
