DEAREST FREEDOM

Each show by Canadian choreographer Marie Chouinard is like a glorious feat. It is also a lesson in freedom., a freedom to redefine the body following mutations each more startling than the former, and to draw from this an unsettling dance. Whether she gives claws to the interpreters in The Rite of Spring (1993) or grafts crutches onto them in bODY_rEMIX/ les_vARIATIONS_gOLDBERG (2005), the choreographer generates an ambiguous reading of the self and the world. Her new opus entitled LE NOMBRE D’OR (LIVE) [The Golden Ratio - Live], for fourteen dancers, already promises to be a futuristic saga. Marie Chouinard always lets a degree of explosive savagery interfere with her expertise. Let us wager that this mad cavalcade in Chouinard country will lash against codes and clichés.
