When the ice melts, will we drink the water? (2016)

PRIX DU CALQ – MEILLEURE ŒUVRE CHORÉGRAPHIQUE DE LA SAISON ARTISTIQUE 2016/17

BEST CHOREOGRAPHY OF THE SEASON - PRIX DU CALQ 2016/17

The pelvis lies at the root of a bodily discourse on survival and endurance. The performance starts with the question that the title asks the audience. A simple platform acts as a frame or a synthetic sphere for the imaginary landscape as the performer pivots in a slow repetitive trance.
