To dance in Crossing

Crossing is a choreography for a group of human beings who breath together.

Adults from all generations, children, teenagers, professional and amateurs are dancing in unison somewhere on Earth. Very close to each other, they listen to the environment as if they were a school of fish, letting the movement cross themselves like a mantra. Always but never the same, Crossing let you look at the piece like a bonfire.

Born in Montreal (Québec) in 2006 in the St-Louis Square, it was performed again at Place des Arts in 2007, which was the start of the world tour, a journey of 3 years. It spent the summer in France; at Le Catelier in July (Le Relais, centre de recherche théâtrale), and then in Dieppe in September (Le Temps d'une Marée).

Later on, it will go to Spain, South America and Japan. There will be a rendez-vous in Montréal in 2010 for a universal Crossing, regrouping the planetary Crossers from the 3 previous years.
