Compagnie Marie Chouinard

Crafted from a soundtrack sourced from the breath of 12 dancers, the latest opus from a choreographer with boundless inspiration. An ode to life

Marie Chouinard has continuously listened to the vital impulse of the body in a protean body of work, a vast field of research encompassing, in a single creative impulse, dance, poetry, drawing, photography, cinema, plastic installation, and new technologies. 


More than 30 years after Les trous du ciel, her first group work, a pivotal milestone in a remarkable journey, Chouinard returns to a choreographic exploration rooted in breath and voice. From micro-movements, from an impulse that shakes the lungs and bones, the delirious mechanics of being "alive" spring into action: the awakening of emotions... Precise to the smallest detail, a community moves forward and collides in a loop with the roots of madness and wisdom. The blocks of reality crumble, a new disorderly order emerges, revealing the friendly and luminous connections of caregiving. Dazzling.
