SÉRIE SOLOS
Série Solos unfolds as a cycle of creation that is renewed according to the context and the place it shares with the public. Between 2011 and 2015, several versions were presented, on stage or in situ, inside and outside, each time received with enthusiasm, as much by the public, amateurs or novices, as by the host places.
Série Solos is an ongoing dance experience where the art of solo becomes a tool to explore the intimate relationship that is created, first between the choreographer and the dancer, then between the dancer and each spectator.
It is also an experiment on space where the usual contours of the theatre stage are blurred, while a new stage emerges: the personal stage of one’s gaze and one’s inner space.
The solos come to life, interlock and blend in the shape of the duet or quartet, revealing a multitude of movements and dynamic situations.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT
La grande qualité du spectacle alliée à la répétition publique et la rencontre avec les artistes après le spectacle forment un tout généreux, complet et pertinent, notamment pour initier une communauté à la danse contemporaine.
Gabriel Lemelin, ancien directeur du service de la culture et des loisirs de la ville de Mont-Tremblant.
Un excellent projet pour attirer de nouveaux publics pour la danse. Une chorégraphie d’une qualité sans compromis s’adaptant aux différents lieux intérieurs ou extérieurs.
