35-year Countdown: The Story Continues!
Our grand anniversary campaign is well underway!
From our latest shows to our very first steps to, we invite you to relive 35 years of dance and collaboration.
Since August, our social media has been taking you back in time. After revisiting our most recent works, it’s now time to explore our unpublished archives—sometimes unexpected, often moving.
You may already have discovered:
● A surprising anecdote… what’s the link between Sylvain Émard and Super Mario?
● The heartfelt testimony of steadfast dancer Marie-Michelle Darveau, who shared: “The most beautiful thing about Sylvain is his ability to draw us into his vision, his work, his complexity—while allowing us to be fully ourselves, as artists and human beings.”
Follow us on our social networks and join us as we dive into these vivid memories, souvenirs that will set the pace for the countdown to our big event this autumn.
