Compagnie Marie Chouinard

Marie Chouinard, a recipient of Quebec’s Prix Denise Pelletier award, has been a fixture on world stages for more than two decades. Her pioneering company explores the poetics of the body in immediate, intelligible and ever-surprising ways and creates compelling imagery on stage that will sustain and demand your attention. Although her works may be perceived as provocative, they are better viewed as pathways towards freedom and compassion, where humor is possible and beauty is omnipresent. Inspired by Vaslav Nijinsky’s choreography, Compagnie Marie Chouinard will perform Le sacre du printemps (Rite of Spring), Prélude à l’aprés-midi d’un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) and 24 Preludes by Chopin, a jubilant yet solemn work that evokes feelings of passion, introspection and rebellion.

Recommended for mature audiences.
