Magnetic Fields

A sextet launches a dance in which each gesture resonates in the space, influencing the group. Movements respond to each other, fluidly or in total rupture. They are both source and continuation. Chaos is as natural as order. Both result from the spontaneous organization of life in this small community, these Magnetic Fields. This microcosm strikes a chord, vibrating from stage to audience, revealing that everything in this world is interconnected, that our slightest actions have an impact.

After exploring the ritual aspect of dance and its ability to modify our states of consciousness, Sylvain Émard now seeks a connection to the complexity of the universe. The piece is inspired by the observations of the physicist and philosopher David Bohm on the interaction of particles and the interpenetration of energy fields, regardless of the distance between them. Echoing those ideas, the choreographer presents bodies attuned to what's going on, both inside and outside the present moment. Returning to the origins of dance, he lets individuality shine through, weaving a web of humanity in search of harmony. A captivating work.
