J'ai pleur avec les chiens (Time, Creation, Destruction), Daina Ashbees latest work, unfolds like a ritual celebration dedicated to the body. In a minimalist landscape driven by cycles of change, five dancers fluctuate between possibilities: from animal to human, mundane to spiritual, sorrow to ecstasy. Down on all fours, they experience the elation of a new harmony and equilibrium but soon are flipped upside down, eluding gravity, and portraying a resurgence of the power to act in a community. Born in BC and of Mtis and Dutch heritage, Ashbee has earned international plaudits for her radical and unflinching work which examines the body through a powerful feminist lens.Presented by The Dance Centre and Vancouver International Dance Festival.
