Puissante métaphore, Burn Baby, Burn aborde un sujet brûlant d’actualité : les changements climatiques et la nécessité d’une prise de conscience collective. L’œuvre interpelle sur l’urgence d’agir pour un avenir durable. Avons-nous atteint le point de bascule ? s'interroge Guillaume Côté. Et si cette flamme qui brûle en nous pouvait être utilisée à bon escient ? Le feu, avec sa passion et son intensité — arme à double tranchant, capable de nous consumer comme de nous inciter à bouger —, est le fil rouge de cette danse exacerbée, tantôt joyeuse et insouciante, tantôt d’un crescendo implacable. D’une beauté et d’une énergie revitalisantes, Burn Baby, Burn invite à empoigner le présent à bras-le-corps et à ouvrir la voie à des lendemains qui dansent.

Kintsugi-Compagnie Machine de Cirque_© Hubert-Gaudreau

Kintsugi is the art of sublimating imperfections.

In a bus shelter away from the world and time, strangers wait to be taken somewhere else. They don't know when they'll leave or where they'll go. These motionless travelers rely on outside forces to lose themselves and, paradoxically, find something within themselves.

This mysterious place awakens in everyone a thirst for life, for encounters and the unusual. A desire for solidarity, laughter and fun. In a sometimes waking dream, fragments of their past sculpt the present, revealing a new beauty.

With Kintsugi, Machine de Cirque creates a moment of great humanity, imbued with vertiginous acrobatic prowess.

An inspiring plunge into life, which is here, now and full of beauty.

The squat—or crouching position—is omnipresent in Vietnam, the country where Kim-Sanh CHÂU comes from. It appears in everyday actions (such as cooking), as a resting position (drinking coffee, smoking a cigarette, waiting), or as a working posture (cleaning, picking things up, preparing). Its meaning varies across Asia, carrying, for example, stronger social-class connotations in India or spiritual ones in the Philippines.

What interests the choreographer about the squat is the continuous relationship between submission and strength. Being so close to the ground evokes an image of vertical submission, compared to someone sitting on a chair or standing. Yet, the increased power required in the legs and pelvis also makes it a position of strength.

This piece explores the power that arises from below. A simple, persistent gesture, the squat becomes a quiet act of resistance and a physical prayer to the invisible forces that sustain us.

Jonathan and Nina, two dance pros, take on a big challenge: playing the game of the PERFECT family. But a third contestant bursts in, and with three, everything gets complicated. A lot. In this risky game, is it okay to mess up? The brave team doesn’t yet realize the impossible adventure they’ve embarked on! And suddenly, a curious master of ceremonies takes over the apartment… Do they need to be flawless and never make mistakes to win this great competition?

Failures that shape us

In this third creation resulting from the collaboration between Le Petit Théâtre de Sherbrooke and [La Parenthèse] – Christophe Garcia, mutual support, honesty, and neatly folded laundry are the guiding principles: the search for the model family is on. But… what actually is a family? Who should do what to make it work? This philosophical-pop show, blending dance and theater, shakes up our perfectionist ideals. Reflections on living together and confessions at the dishwasher!

Who has never been overwhelmed by complex and paradoxical emotions? From our very first steps, we learn to recognize them, observe them, and gradually tame them… They trigger physical reactions within us: spontaneous laughter, tears, a grimace, or even… a cloud in the belly — sometimes as soft and comforting as a fluffy pillow, but at other times announcing a fierce storm!

The performance A Cloud in My Belly invites audiences on an atmospheric journey to the heart of human emotion. With delicacy, humor, and poetry, this choreographic work offers children a kaleidoscope of feelings and sensations through dance performed in solo, duo, and trio. Dozens of costumes paint the stage in a shimmering palette, while the voice of young Margot punctuates the choreography with her sensitive and philosophical reflections.

Movements, colors, rhythms, and words become gateways for everyone to experience and embrace the performance in their own way.
