Tout s'effondre (We All Fall Down) at Agora de la danse

TOUT S’EFFONDRE | By Helen Simard | Créations Interdisciplinaires We All Fall Down
May 7-8-9, 7 pm + May 10 , 4 pm

Featuring ten performers, Tout s’effondre reveals the poetry of cycles of collapse and rebirth, in a show where humanity constantly reinvents itself

This new creation by Helen Simard (We All Fall Down) offers a powerful refl on falling, both physically and symbolically, revealing the raw beauty of collapse as it oscillates between virtuosity and vulnerability. This piece for nine dancers and one musician explores the plurality of the human condition through order and disorder, action and inaction, the individual and the collective. A touching work where resistance and hope coexist.
