Her artistic signature, her community involvement, and her contribution to the growth and development of dancers and the discipline itself, make the company an acclaimed actor in the dance milieu in Quebec. Inclusive at the core, it equally values the practices of emerging talent along with those of the culturally diverse.

LA PROBABILITÉ DU NÉANT

SHOW 1

SYNOPSIS - LA PROBABILITÉ DU NÉANT

Will indifference to the Other get the better of us? How can we make sense of our actions when we witness extreme situations that take us to the edge of nothingness? Continuing her exploration of the human psyche, Spicey establishes the genesis of this work in the "Bystander Effect". Is the witness an observer or an accomplice? Spicey blurs the lines and perspectives depending on who is watching. On stage, the audience is surrounded by projection canvases. Spicey has always been influenced by cinema and theater, but this is the first time she has used video in her choreographic work.

With its incisive dance, La Probabilité du Néant questions our perceptions, our judgments, and the consequences of our choices. In the strange possibility of our own self-destruction, she also reminds us of our luminous capacity for resistance and resilience. La Probabilité du Néant is 'Spicey's' sixth work and the fourth for Ebnflōh, her company, a finalist for the 2020 Grand Prix du Conseil des arts de Montréal.

IN-WARD

SYNOPSIS - IN-WARD

With raw and sharp physicality, Alexandra subtly combines dramatic tension, and dark humour in dealing with obvious situational absurdities that grapple with the forces of hope. Are we able to perceive and understand the other’s experience without the biases of our own subjective experience? Forced to live together in a limited space, forming perhaps unlikely alliances, these individuals and their bodies must reconcile temptations to be alone with a threat of real conflict.

SHOW 2

IN-BEAUTY

SYNOPSIS - IN-BEAUTY

In-Beauty questions the parameters of feminine gender through its choreographic language, anchored in Hip Hop. How do societal codes influence the image of women? What happens when these rules no longer apply, when we are motivated by an inner strength that overcomes the clichés attached to gender? With an urban furniture as a starting point, the 4 performers push their physical abilities and revisit the codes of street dance. Nourished by the different venues, the choreographer creates a space where the spectator is invited, in the proximity of the bodies, to experience the energy of street dance.
