Description

Dépaysement : les eaux intimes is a sensitive interweaving of visual art and dance. It's an exhibition in which dance artists, through various performative interventions, transform a space in constant motion. The public is invited to move freely through the installations, contributing to the metamorphosis of a multi-sensory work about resilience and transformation. An invitation to experience an environment made of dreams, memories and intimate confidences.

On January 24 at 6 p.m., artist and mediator Georges-Nicolas Tremblay, in collaboration with a team of accompanying guides and audio describers, will welcome blind and partially-sighted visitors to offer a tactile tour of the exhibition prior to the 7:30 p.m. performance. During the show, the guides will act as audio describers and assistants to describe the visual elements and performances. This will be followed by a conversation hosted by Georges-Nicolas Tremblay in the presence of the artists. No equipment is required for this performance.

Corpuscule Danse is magnificently dedicated to the development and dissemination of inclusive dance based on the encounter of dancers with and without visible or invisible disabilities. Artistically led by Marie-Hélène Bellavance and Georges-Nicolas Tremblay, the company models better living together.
