Fôve Diffusion

FÔVE diffusion promotes more than twenty works by ten artistic signatures, including the following tour-ready works :

L’un L’autre — Sylvain Lafortune and Esther Rousseau-Morin bring to the stage a mesmerizing, evocative and highly technical duet in which they embody solidarity and the powerful transformative potential of human connection. A radiant ode to the beauty of « we ».

Inhabiting Memories — Dance artist Caroline Laurin-Beaucage pursues her quest for physical truth in this unifying version of her emblematic solo project. Over a period of a few days, she invites women of different cultures, generations and backgrounds to take turns performing one hour-long solos in a public space, revisiting their personal journey as a dancer and woman and inviting the audience to an introspection in movement.

Also by Caroline Laurin-Beaucage : The Infinite Edges of our Skin, GROUND and REBO(U)ND.

La disparition des choses — What if Nature no longer existed? Cut off from this essential force, performers Amélie Rajotte and Marie-Philippe Santerre try to keep the memory of a vanished environment alive. Supported by two musicians and the landscape projections of Nelly-Ève Rajotte, they touch, tear, dig and stir invisible surfaces as they attempt to reactivate faded sensations and provoke a strange connection with what is no more.

FORÊT — FORÊT reverses the paradigms of sight. Built with four blind performers and two sighted performers, the work cultivates forces that disorient and reorient the audience, their perception of time and space. FORÊT is thought by and for the notions of ensemble. A choreography of the senses and a composition of presence, FORÊT erases the boundaries between inside and outside.

FABLES — Against the backdrop of the chaos of an era turned upside down, Virginie Brunelle’s FABLES projects us into fantastical spaces from which larger-than-life characters emerge—contemporary female archetypes who paved the way to freedom from invisible yet very real barriers. A universe of great evocative power, close to dance theatre, echoing a crying need for utopia, hope and humanity.

Also by Virginie Brunelle: Les corps avalés.

ÈBE — Sarah Bronsard’s Èbe revolves around a choir of five robot-operated accordions and a choreography rooted in flamenco, exploring the communicative dimension of breath. The unconscious adjustment of the breathing to that of the accordions, like the hypnotizing effect of the sea, reveals powers that influence us beyond our individual questionings. Èbe offers a contemplative and sensory experience shared through the different rhythms that inhabit and surround us.

WHAT WILL COME — Two beings face a conditioned universe as they strive to discover its laws, whereas it is already deconstructing. Gradually, accidents multiply; coincidences and unpredictability take over. With this work, Julia B. Laperrière and Sébastien Provencher take interest in the notion of entropy as a research tool and a force for dismantling.

FELT — Three performers dive into our felt experiences of the natural world, dancing on a circular, hand-woven in Mongolian felt floor, surrounded closely by spectators who are welcome and indispensable to this unique visual and auditory experience.

Also by Bill Coleman: Le Flâneur, Sounds of Mind & Body.
