Mirages — Boreal souls - teaser

Against the backdrop of a polar landscape, Mirages – Les  âmes boréales immerses the audience in the heart of the icy expanses of  the Great North. The piece leads us to drift towards lands as real as  they are fantasized, and questions as much as it makes us dream.

This contemporary tale plays on illusion and uses visual,  choreographic, sonic and sensory means to arouse surprise and  fascination. Sound and video have an important place, and associated  with the movement, reveal the dreamlike and magic of this landscape, and  transfigure the icy nature that conditions the mind and transforms the  body.

Imprint and fusion, the piece is interested in the capacity of  contagion that nature has on the man, to better question by mirror  effect the imprint that the man leaves on the earth.
