Scuse + Athlétisme Affectif

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 13 and 14 Frédérique Cournoyer-Lessard - Scuse SCUSE is a documentary circus show in which artist Frédérique Cournoyer Lessard recalls various events from her childhood and teenage years that shaped her perception of femininity and sexuality. By bringing together different autobiographical fragments, the artist invites us to reflect on the impact of the binary system of interpersonal relationships. How does the socio-cultural stigma of gender influence us to adopt behaviors that encourage domination and sexual violence? Presented in French with surtitle in english. Jimmy Gonzalez - Athlétisme affectif What happens when a juggler goes on autopilot and stops paying attention to his balls? Inspired by the ritual of the warm-up, Jimmy takes us into a trance with him and lets his movements flow unconsciously, focusing instead on his physical sensations, his breathing. Circus becomes a somatic practice. Jimmy juggles an ever-expanding number of tasks. The action escalates, verging closer and closer to chaos. He challenges himself with this act that is five times longer than a classic juggling solo, finding pleasure in endurance. No text.
