Part 3 of the Climatology of bodies cycle
A Sylvain Émard Danse, Station Zuid (Netherlands), the Grand Théâtre de Lorient (France), and Usine C (Canada) co-production
Following the success of Pluie (2004) and Temps de chien (2005), Sylvain Émard began work on Wave, the third and final chapter of the Climatology of bodies cycle. In this highly acclaimed trilogy, Sylvain Émard uses the climate as a metaphor for external influences that affects our lives.
Wave explores our capacity and our individual desire to melt, to become part of an increasingly vast and multidimensional environment as changes in the natural world, observable on a global scale, seem to be accelerating at a furious pace. Performed by five exceptional female dancers, this tidal wave sweeps forth to reveal dance as the exquisitely tuned music of bodies. Energetic, remarkable and moving beyond words.
