Frictions

Performance in movement adapted to its location

 
Frictions is an ambulatory performance in situ. A deconstructed contemporary jig, but above all moving and touching by the relationships it presents, first between the performers, then between the performers and the audience. The audience is plunged into the heart of a work where rhythm, play, pleasure, and rigor are felt.

“A sensitive and touching performance.”

– Michel LaFrenière, City of Longueuil
