Compagnie Marie Chouinard

Saturday, March 28, 2009, 8:00 p.m. - Internationally acclaimed, Montreal-based Compagnie Marie Chouinard performs their signature work, 24 Preludes By Chopin and their thrillingly idiosyncratic interpretation of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. Chouinard has created a pure, lavish piece consisting of movements that marry gentleness with strength, and subtlety with rawness. Rarely is dance so consistently in touch with the music and the feelings it evokes, from chastity to passion, introspection to ardour, and submission to rebellion. Chouinard transposes states of meditative insight and visceral agitation into a vast terrain of forbidden games sculpted by light.
