Three women share the same stage without ever meeting. Although they come close physically, they remain invisible to one other. Their only connections are their shared presences in time and space. In quest of an identity, they each construct a body for themselves. As incarnations of madness, control or wanderlust, they manage to transcend their loneliness… Intrigued by the possible relationship between theatrical representation and cinematic language, the young Montreal choreographer Audrey Bergeron has focused her research on reproducing, through dance and its codes, the long-familiar rhythmic processes and actions of film. Close-ups, speeded-up and slow-motion, stop-frame and other in-camera effects are employed in this dynamic gestural mosaic full of contrasts. Power and delicacy, forcefulness and fluidity appear in equal measure in this abstract work, this poetic world steeped in illusion, in references both theatrical and familiar.

Par le chas de l’aiguille is an impressionistic visual experience, a portrait of femininity in three phases, which turns on a multiplication of perspectives. Its lighting, stage design and sound processing ingeniously renew our perception of the dancing body, allowing us an intimate, inside glimpse of the art of movement.

A Danse-Cité production in collaboration with Audrey Bergeron. With the financial support of the Conseil des arts et des Lettres du Québec.
