Daniel Léveillé’s Amour, acide et noix (Love, Acid and Nuts) at Vancouver Playhouse

DanceHouse presents Daniel Léveillé’s masterwork, Amour, acide et noix (Love, Acid and Nuts), on stage October 24 and 25, 2025 at 8pm at the Vancouver Playhouse. This emotionally raw, full-length piece features four dancers, performing in the nude, who use the mechanics of their arms, legs, torsos, and skulls to plumb the very nature of the human condition. Performed to a stirring musical score of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, pop music, and birdsong, the dancers move through a series of spellbinding entanglements. As the piece progresses, the shock of nudity disappears, helped along by a lick of irreverent humour that runs throughout the work.  Winner of the Grand Prix de la danse de Montréal (2017), Amour, acide et noix (Love, Acid and Nuts) continues to resonate globally. DanceHouse offers a pre-show talk at 7:15pm each evening, as well as a post-show reception following Friday’s performance in the Playhouse Salon.
