DESCRIPTIONS :

ÆTERNAM
Dimanche XXIe is a two-phase project that has grown out of a reflection on Man and his rapport to time and space. Each phase of the project explores a very specific, and different, space-time.

Phase # 2: Æternam (2004)
Æternam, the second phase, will be presented in a conventional theater, where the choreographic premises for Vitrail will be re-created in a completely new concept of space and time.
Æternam, a one-hour piece, will be presented in a space divided into two distinct areas. This choreography for four dancers, preceded by an installation, gives us a taste of the ephemeral for another approach to time, another perspective on the poetic, perishable body. Æternam will be presented in Montreal from October 6 to 16 at l’Espace Libre, in co-production with Danse-Cité, for its series Volet – Traces Chorégraphes.

VITRAIL
Dimanche XXIe is a two-phase project that has grown out of a reflection on Man and his rapport to time and space. Each phase of the project explores a very specific, and different, space-time.

Phase # 1: Vitrail (2003)
Vitrail, the first phase, is presented in a very small performance space in a public urban setting where the passers-by are the spectators. The piece is a collage of images that contrast with or underline the movement in the street and the position of the public. This first phase, a three-hour work, was premiered in Montreal in October 2003 during the Festival International de Nouvelle Danse. The performance took place in the store window for optician Georges Laoun on St. Denis street. The performance space was a platform in the window, providing a total area of 1.80 m X 2.70 m.

ÆCHYLOS
An hour of energy – calm or reckless – on a platform, in a small space that is more than public: in a window, a porthole on the world. This solo, presented in an urban context, reveals through a series of events an intimacy in contrast with the commotion outside. The dancer accumulates, under the gaze of the spectators listening through headphones, a variety of objects with which he must share the space. He deconstructs his body to reveal his intuitions and perceptions in different ways.

M
This thirty-minute male duo reveals the fundamental relationship between two men. Calm and quiet, this duo was conjured up in Catalonia during a long walk through a monastery , a place of meditation, and at one time, a symbol of the strength of the male intellect. Initially created for Felix Ruckert and Julyan Hamilton, two dancers in their forties, M is ’s first male duo.

M explores the realm of male modesty, the complexity of male bonding, the promiscuous relationship of two men seen not, as is too often the case, as a sign of weakness but as a naturel human experience.
M premiered at TXT (a choreographic meeting between three creators/dancers). This project was initiated by Felix Ruckert at Dock 11 in Berlin in August 2001, during the Tanz Im August Festival.
This new production of M (Since 2002) is performed by two local dancers in their thirties.
