L'AUTRE CIRQUE - Live new experiences!
La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines and La TOHU, as part of MONTREAL COMPLÈTEMENT CiRQUE, join their strenghts to present L'Autre Cirque, which celebrates the hybridization of genres, a blend that is sometimes surprising, but always refreshing. On the edge of circus and other forms of art, these unusual evenings give a voice to artists who choose alternative paths of creation, and provoke our imagination to better entertain us.
La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines and la TOHU were finalists for the Grand Prix du Conseil des Arts de Montréal for the 2019 edition for the project L'AUTRE CIRQUE.
July 11 and 12
The Chita Project - The Thing-In-Itself
Two figures constantly remodel a space evocative of an artificial, manufactured natural landscape. Contemplative and chaotic by turns, the piece is built around an innovative acrobatic vocabulary, which grew out of the artists' deep immersion in combat sports. Intimacy and tension emerge through repetition, loops and mirror images. A DIY electronic soundscape guides us through this fragile world, which shifts between synchronicity and syncopation, harmony and dissonance. No text.
Collectif Cookson-Lachance - Eklats
EKLATS is a solo show mixing circus arts, movement, and, to a certain extent, puppetry. With a duration of sixty minutes, this show created by the Cookson-Lachance collective is intended for a general public. The work begins with Cyr wheels. Whole, dismembered, twisted- they can be manipulated, transformed, or converted to serve abstraction, games, and emotions. In a universe of canvas, pieces of wood, metal and lights, a solitary being travels through his night in search of himself. No text.
