A matter of life and breath Famous explorer of the early 20th century Peter Freuchen found himself trapped in an igloo during a blizzard, realizing the shelter was closing in on him, slowly becoming his shroud. For his new show, A Matter of Life and Breath, Roger Sinha drew inspiration from this anecdote.
The breath of life and the breath of death... Interested as ever by the use of new technology, the choreographer directs six dancers whose movements and breathing sometimes trigger sound and visual effects through interactive technology.
As faithful as ever to his artistic vision, he creates a hybrid vocabulary sprung from both his Indian heritage and contemporary expression, where movement, words, images and technology bring forth a poetic language of the body.
(Dancers : Tom Casey, Élise Legrand, Tanya Crowder, Ghislaine Doté, Laurence Ramsay, Raul Huaman. Apprentice: Marie Ève Lafontaine).
