When The Ice Melts, Will We Drink The Water? (2016)
Prix du CALQ - Meilleure œuvre choréographique de la saison artistique 2016/2017
Best choreography of the season 2016/2017 in Québecoise Dance prize
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.
