Show description:

The collaboration between maribé – sors de ce corps and the Théâtre de Verdure was lead by their mutual desire for dance to meet the public and vice-versa. The architectural and choreographic performance integrates dancers into the landscape of the park and into the actions of the park visitors. Inspired by the mobile and immobile, in permanence and the ephemeral, the interpreters help us to see the space of this bustling public park with new perspective.

On Sundays the public can share in the experience of Les Précédents in interpreting the piece alongside the dancers. Just contact Andrée-Anne Blouin at 514-872-4041 or by visiting www.ville.montreal.qc.ca/theatredeverdure
