After a residency in Belgium, a passage at Maguy Marin’s Centre Chorégraphique National de Rillieux-la-Pape and a series of shows at The Dance Round Table Festival in Tokyo, the young choreographer premiered Les Angles Morts in Montreal in April 2007. The piece created in an international context brings together Mélanie Demers, dancer and composer Jacques Poulin-Denis, South African choreographer Boyzie Cekwana, working here as an artistic advisor and light designer David Perreault Ninacs. Quote: Mélanie Demers does not waste a single second in submerging us in her world… It is very difficult to qualify or even quantify Les Angles Morts because it works at such an experiential level that discussing it inevitably feels futile. The only way to truly appreciate it is to experience it. It will move you to action, and even maybe to creation. - Sylvain Vestricht, Indyish website, April 28 2007 Choreography: Mélanie Demers Dancers: Mélanie Demers, Jacques Poulin-Denis Artistic Advisor: Boyzie Cekwana Composer: Jacques Poulin-Denis Lighting Design: David Perreault Ninacs Technical Director: Jean François Déziel Box Office Telephone: 416-367-1800 http://www.torontoevents.com/index.php?com=detail&eID=2263 Thu, 22 May 2008
