Souk-Cité 2
September 2017, 8th -- From 7 pm to 10 pm
Danse-Cité invites you to a unique evening : SOUK-CITÉ 2, which will take place onFriday, September 8th, 2017 in the presence of Alexandre Désilets, spokesperson of the event and under the honorary presidency of Marie-Christine Cojocaru, the executive director of Caisse Desjardins de la Culture. Presented from 7 pm to 10 pm at the MAI [Montréal, arts interculturels], the evening will bring together 30 artists from several generations and different disciplines (dance, theater, circus, music, performance, massage therapists, mixology etc ...)
SOUK-CITÉ 2, an evening to:
- COLLECT funds to support tomorrow’s choreographers and performers
- CELEBRATE 36 years of creation in Montréal
For 36 years, Danse-Cité has been involved in creation/innovation in the field of performing arts, and have been continuously dedicated in providing generous support to Montreal’s dance community. Each year, the organization creates four productions that take place in various venues that resonate with Montreal’s culture, and supports as well as propels artists/performers in their singular approach.
During this peculiar evening, you will be invited to walk all around the space to attend micro performances by reknown and emerging dancers, as well as multidisciplinary artists. Just as in a network of bystreets and dead ends of a Mediterranean suq, these privileged and short solos/duos (from 1 to 6 spectators each) will be spread out in hidden and unexpected areas of the building (from the artists’ lodges, to the roof, passing by the coat check, engine room, elevator and many more). A DJ and an auction will also contribute to make this evening an inviting and celebratory event that is conducive to new encounters and discoveries.
This benefit gala will allow Danse-Cité to fulfill its goals with the artistic freedom and care to assist Quebec’s dance community that it is acclaimed for.
