Corps virtuose
Corps rebelles
In contemporary dance, virtuosity is very present: in the power of jumps, the speed, the complexity of the choreographic concatenations. In the 60s and 70s, instead of using a lexicon of codified steps, choreographers use gestures from everyday life, but pushed to their maximum. Today, the impressive figures of hip-hop irrigate a dance, telescoping styles, between aerobatics and surge.
In a constant pursuit of transcendence, extreme virtuosity, exceptional physics and unbridled movement of breathtaking speed have made Quebec dancer and choreographer Louise Lecavalier a star of contemporary dance in the 1980s.

The exhibition Corps rebelles invited the public to discover contemporary dance. She presented the different approaches of the dancing body, illustrated by emblematic choreographies.
The question of interpretation was also at the heart of the exhibition with eight versions of The Rite of Spring created by eight great choreographers. The exhibition continued by treating notation as a tool for memorizing and transmitting a gesture.
