ON / OFF on the road | The start of a grand tour

Presented as an official showcase at Rideau and winner of the prix ROSEQ-RIDEAU, the Grand Poney company's ON/OFF show is gearing up for a great tour across Quebec for the 2023-2024 season.

Get your agendas ready, the tour continues in 2024-2025 ! Don't miss the chance to present this choreographic work on a treadmill, for teenagers and adults alike.

ON / OFF is a dance work designed for teenagers and adults where a quartet of dancers performs on an unusual and wondrous machine: an oversized

treadmill.

On this rolling and confining surface, physical movement is both restrained and ecstatic, exhilarated and acrobatic. Together and alone, the performers

address themes such as identity, self fulfillment, determination, coexistence, freedom, exhaustion and the unending feelings and sensations that makeup the complexity of life. The treadmill is a meeting place where the characters seek to understand their place in the world. Sometimes at the mercy, sometimes in control of this intriguing, unpredictable and mobilizing machine, they play with time and suspend

actions in space in order to dig out the details of gestures, questions and interactions. The forever forward moving device becomes a metaphor for the passage from childhood to adulthood. It is the path that we choose to travel and the life that we learn

to tame.
