I lost my tongue. I lost my resistance. (2023)
Loss, memory, concern and empathy. How can one measure the depth of sorrow and the need for reassurance? My person, my needs, my distress. Our world waiting for universal awareness…shifting standpoint, attuning perspective. Choreography: Sylvie Desrosiers Performance: Amanda Bon, Takako Segawa Lighting Design: Laura Wheeler
Lewis et Lucie (2013)
A man sits alone on a park bench, talking to passersby, hoping for some human connection. Speaking in stilted phrases, he offers fragments of his personal history, impressions and obsessions. The outline of his story emerges: a small, sad story, repeated every day on park benches the world over, of an existence that never quite took full shape. Lewis & Lucie is a poetic evocation of marginality, solitude and the tiny, crushing burdens of the past. Choreography: Jane Mappin Performance: Jane Mappin, Daniel Firth Rehearsal Direction: Sophie Michaud Lighting Design: Anne-Sara Gendron
