In a studio artists are hard at work, gleefully playing with various materials. In this wordless performance, four seasoned dancers create a feast for the senses, at times drawing the outlines of paintings with their bodies, at other times transforming everyday objects into wondrous items that are part of a blazing kaleidoscope of lines, forms, rhythms and colours. Gazing wide-eyed and listening closely, the audience plunges into a world of images and sensations.
Mélanie Dumont, the Associate Artistic Director for Youth Programming, has imagined her first season as a landscape and, to start things off, will be presenting a dazzling, playful encounter full of vitality and pleasure. Nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Award, the first children’s show in the French Theatre 2012-2013 season is an inventive cascade of images and tableaux vivants concocted by the scintillating Hélène Langevin, who was thoroughly inspired by 20th century art.
