Danse Danse presents a new choreography by Virginie Brunelle: ‘Sans Quoi Nous Crèverons’

After Fables, in which she explored women’s personal and collective struggles, choreographer Virginie Brunelle continues returns with a powerful new creation, presented by Danse Danse from April 14 to 18 at the Place des Arts’ Cinquième Salle.

In Sans quoi nous crèverons, she dives into the heart of contemporary chaos and dehumanization, where each breath, each muscular quiver reminds us of the urgency of reconnecting with what is essential.

On stage, five performers embody a powerful collective force, moving through tensions and release, surges of energy and pauses. Buoyed by Laurier Rajotte’s organic music, the show’s intention is to resonate like a liberating cry against alienation, a physical and emotional response to the slow erosion of our human condition.

Compagnie Virginie Brunelle is a choreographic creation company that has worked under the artistic direction and general management of choreographer Brunelle since it was founded in 2009. Its repertoire includes some 10 contemporary dance works, which have been presented in more than 50 cities across Quebec and the world.

The one hour-long performances take place April 14 to 18 at 8 p.m. at la Cinquième Salle, Place des Arts. Post-show talks with the artists happen on Wednesday, Apr. 15, and Saturday, Apr. 18. Place des Arts Box-Office: 514-842-2112 or 1-866-842-2112.
