Known for raw, intensely physical and cinematic choreography, Compagnie Virginie Brunelle performs in Philadelphia for the first time with the U.S. premiere of Fables. This full-length work for 10 dancers and a pianist offers a poetic yet sometimes harsh vision of women’s ongoing struggle. Against the backdrop of a world in chaos, a series of evocative tableaux show female archetypes becoming larger than life in their grandeur, strength and resilience as they pave the way through invisible, yet very real barriers. Please note, Fables includes nudity.
