Odalisca, a solo created in 2021 by choreographer Louise Bédard, will be performed by Scott McCabe on September 13 as part of the Festival Quartiers Danses. Inspired by the languorous postures of women painted by Ingres and Delacroix. The choreography reveals the sensuality exuded by the dancing male body, to the beat of the Eight Whiskus music piece, composed by John Cage. It includes a remixed version by Sutja Guitterez, with the voice of Joan La Barbara, and a violin version interpreted by Aisha Orazbayeva. The choreography contains multiple visual and musical layers, appealing to impulsive sensibilities.

At Les Grands Ballets Canadiens Studio/Theatre (Wilder Building) at 8pm. Ticketing to follow.
