Upcoming projects
Au-delà du rien
A new creation at the Quartiers Danses festival
Discover Au-delà du rien, a short dance piece by Menka Nagrani, with Gabrielle Marion-Rivard, Marylin Perreault and Olivier Rousseau.
Three human beings, dispossessed, alone and vulnerable. Beyond the emptiness and the unsettling vertigo of the unknown, beyond nothing. When everything has collapsed, will there be one single heart left to beat? An earth where one can breathe? Step-dancing moves to mark the rhythm of life? Au-delà du rien is the first step in the creation of Cendres, a dance-theater show that will be presented at Théâtre Prospero next February.
Cinquième salle, Place des Arts

Cendres
A new dance-theater production
Étienne and his sister Viviane are survivors of a devastating fire that made them orphans. As they attempt to restart their lives, the hurricane season is unfolding with fury in those faraway countries of sun and beaches. After years of absence, their sister Sophie suddenly reappears, in full-fledged burnout. All three are trying to invent the next step to be taken. Is it the end of a world or the beginning of a new one? Combining theater, contemporary dance, percussive dance and traditional step-dancing, Cendres ventures into fields of hopes and dispossessions. Artists Emmanuelle Jimenez and Menka Nagrani are teaming up for this new dance-theater show by Les Productions des pieds des mains.
Creative team: Menka Nagrani, Emmanuelle Jimenez, Gabrielle Marion-Rivard, Marilyn Perreault, Olivier Rousseau, Maëva Clermont, Érica Schmitz, Anne-Sara Gendron
