WOULD

Drawing its inspiration from all possible futures, WOULD is a meditation on potentiality, utopia, and our mania for projecting ourselves into the future. Imagining the best, fearing the worst. And adapting as best we can to the present. Fuelled by the energy of two powerful dancers, WOULD is a reflection on the failures, falls and miscues that inevitably mark our imperfect paths. Marc Boivin and Kate Holden confront each other like two wild beasts warily approaching each other. For this piece, Marc Boivin received the 2014 Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding Performance—Male and in 2015, Mélanie Demers received the CALQ Prize for Best Choreographic Work for WOULD in the context of Les Prix de la danse de Montréal.
