Exploring the unison and cohesion of the group, Greek choreographer Christos Papadopoulos captivates audiences with works where bodies move as one, vibrating with intensity. A rising presence on the European scene, he fascinates with the precision of his choral compositions. My Fierce Ignorant Step draws its initial spark from the sonic memories of his childhood in Greece. How do we recapture that youthful sense of invincibility?
The dancers pulse with fearless joy, guided by collective memories of a time when everything felt possible. Despite the group’s unstoppable drive, individualities surface. Echoes, voices, and bodies intertwine like instruments. Gradually, the choreography and score—composed by Kornilios Selamsis—gain momentum, propelled by the breath and vocal impulses of the performers. Until they reach collective euphoria. Exhilarating!

Bodies, fleeing or in pursuit, crawl and intertwine. What is happening? Is it the beginning of the apocalypse… or are the fictions of our fears spilling into reality?
On stage, four performers embody the darker corners of the imagination, giving shape to their anxieties. Drawing on the codes of suspense and horror, this choreographic fable unsettles perception and blurs the boundaries between the real and the imagined.
Driven by instincts of survival and solidarity, the bodies become sites of transformation where what haunts us is revealed, displaced, and reinvented, in an atmosphere that is as captivating as it is unsettling.
Balancing tension, vulnerability, and offbeat humour, the work invites us to coexist with our inner monsters—and perhaps, in doing so, to tame them.

DOGMA, People Watching

Duration: 90 minutes
Reservations by phone through Danse-Cité: 514 525-3595
People Watching stands out as one of the leading companies of a new generation of circus artists. At the crossroads of contemporary circus, dance, and physical theatre, DOGMA delivers a striking experience where virtuosity meets raw emotion.
A choreography of bodies driven by sensation, the work traces the many facets of life, from our instinctive drive toward autonomy to our need to exist within a community. Inside a human terrarium, a group of individuals see their convictions put to the test: a microcosm teetering on the edge of imbalance, where risk becomes the driving force behind a narrative that is both mythical and deeply personal. Blending absurd humour, surrealism, and dramatic intensity, acrobatics and physical feats intertwine with breathtaking precision. People Watching challenges the conventions of traditional circus to reinvent its forms and stories, bringing us closer to the heart of human vulnerability.
Founded in 2020, the Montréal-based collective garnered international acclaim with its debut work, Play Dead, which was celebrated across Europe and North America. Following a two-year residency at USINE C, the six-member ensemble returns with a new work born of a dramaturgical approach that places the experience of life itself at its core.

Rattrape-moi is a dynamic and spectacular show that reimagines *Attrape-Moi*, the company’s debut production, to mark its 15th anniversary. A true celebration of play and childhood nostalgia, it blends acrobatics, juggling, and balancing acts within a laid-back visual and auditory world.
Six friends reunite after a 10-year separation. Summer is drawing to a close, and during this reunion at the cottage, they rediscover their little corner of paradise and rekindle their bond. The desire to play and put on a show is reborn, as is the energy of childhood, amid teasing and laughter. This trip down memory lane, filled with acrobatics, juggling, and playful moments, captures the nostalgia and joy of their reunion. By the end of the weekend, their paths will part ways once again, but this unforgettable reunion will remain etched in their hearts.

French live audiodescription:
Audience: Teens and adults, families
Duration: 60 minutes

Eluding the pressure of being menacing. Worshiping sensuality. An intimate and observing gaze. An attempt to criticize. A shapeshifting mannerism. Proud, satirical and afraid.
Sovann is alone on stage, dressed fancy and moving sassy. His words unveil the beauty he seeks as well as the ugliness he finds. His dance reveals a part of his history, his posture, and his convictions.
