bODY rEMIX/ gOLDBERG vARIATIONS (2005)

Original title: Body Remix/Goldberg Variations

Dance. Crutches. Surreal.

In this new work by Marie Chouinard, the company's ten dancers execute variations on the exercise of freedom. Often, the dancers appear on points: on one, two, and even four at a time. In a spectroscopy of the gesture, we also see them using different devices - crutches, rope, prostheses, horizontal bars, and harnesses - which at times liberate their movements, at others fetter it, and at still others create it.
