PRESENTS

VÍ [REC]

by Rhodnie Désir

February 9 - 11 at 8 pm

February 12 at 3 pm

Dancer and choreographer Rhodnie Désir reveals her new interdisciplinary creation as part of Ascen/danses. With VÍ [REC], Désir bares all and exposes the juncture between present and past lives. Like a countdown, the messengers will lend themselves to the ritual of life in seven sacred steps. A meditation on the mysterious and erratic flow of breath, and on where it breaches the limits of balance and leaves its mark on the body.

Contemporary African dance, the vehicle of breath itself, merges with audio visual projections by Ian Cameron. Accompanied by a percussionist -- Joannie Labelle --, a singer who uses an invented language -- Ramon Cespedes -- and a juggler -- Kyle Driggs, the artist brings into focus the constant presence of one's own breath.

« En s'immobilisant, on crée une onde puissante; on réussit à mieux percevoir la grandeur du mouvement que l'autre tente de nous partager, telle une vibration sur la mer.»
- Rhodnie Désir
