Imagine a woman with the ability to power her heart’s blood flow out, and in turn retrieve all her body’s blood back to the heart chambers. This dance is an unraveling and despairing duet between a dancer and the desire to control.

Performers: Danielle Baskerville, Brodie Stevenson, Sébastien Provencher

LADY BABY follows a woman – her myth, her sexuality, her stories – into the very clutches of any one notion of ‘identity’. Is her identity hers alone? Or is she simply an idea the audience has formed of her through images that resonate with iconic, yet unsettling familiarity?

Choreographer: Tori Mehaffey
Performers: Luke Garwood, Daniel Gomez, Connor Mitton, Kelly Shaw
Lighting designer: Simon Rossiter
Costume design: Hoax Couture
Sound Design: Tori Mehaffey

Personal events we have distanced ourselves from for fear of the responses embedded within them. Commissioned by Citadel + Compagnie for Bright Nights.
(Laurence) Lemieux has chosen the triple bill to reflect “daring and exciting” dance creators, and the results would seem to justify her description. – Paula Citron
