The young-audience dance company Bouge de là keeps the celebrations going. After marking its 25th anniversary, the opportunity was perfect to highlight 26 years by returning to the stage with the show that won over so many young spectators 10 years ago: The 26 Letter Dance.
The revival of this interactive, multidisciplinary alphabet primer will be presented as an end-of-residency showing at the Maison de la culture Montréal-Nord on January 15, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
The 26 Letter Dance is a journey into the world of letters and words. Physically and intellectually engaged in the piece, the young spectator is an active participant in this kaleidoscope rich in colours and textured dance.
In this bold and playful work, choreographer Hélène Langevin invites children to take part in a unique experience in which they not only see a dance performance but actively participate in the various tableaux that punctuate the piece–loosely structured miniatures. The show gets underway with A of course, with Z the last to take his leave. In between, the letters in this alphabet book embody a plethora of words, meanings, emotions and tones of voice.
The 26 Letter Dance is a very contemporary and poetic piece that expands the frontiers of performance for young audiences and turns the conventions of theatre inside out.
