To reconnect with the world, first we need to confront

“I have three problems: capitalism, the patriarchy and why art can’t manage to save us.” In this virtuosic performance for solo dancer and rock band, the charismatic Canadian choreographer Frédérick Gravel peels away the layers of his own soul in an honest attempt to lay bare his fears and to reveal the monster of greed within.

Seamlessly shifting between dance, song and self-therapy, he struggles to get a grip on his inner emotions, as he transforms personal anxieties into an honest attempt at reestablishing a connection with the world. Dreaming of a ritual that will finally make sense to him, Gravel reveals his desire to destroy all certainties and a plea for complete and total honesty towards ourselves.

With after-talk on August 22nd at 9PM.
