Choreographed by Sarah Chase and Performed by Marc Boivin
With modesty and sensitivity, Marc Boivin performs an autobiographical solo that sheds light on the mysterious architecture of memory. With his arms and words, he summons vibrant light beams from the darkness, erecting the delicate architecture of his life story. The veteran dancer trades his virtuosity for a humble language of the heart, in a dialogue with darkness and light. Slowly developed over five years in collaboration with Boivin, the choreography by Sarah Chase alternates between apparition and disappearance and gracefully celebrates the language of the body, a treasure trove of memories.
Approximate run time is 45 minutes.
