S'envoler
Recorded at the CND 6 February 2015
Inspired by birds and their migrations, the Québec-based choreographer Estelle Clareton translates the movement of life through S’envoler, a work dominated by energy, tenderness and the joy that migration, belonging and the quest for autonomy and freedom evoke. Accompanied by a backdrop of sound composed exclusively of birdsong and created by Eric Forget, the eleven performers (dancers, actors and acrobats) dream of taking flight, torn by fear and stirred by desire. Packed tightly together, each pulls themselves along, desperately seeking the coordination and harmony of the movements needed for their wings to first beat. Alone or in a group, they attempt to face this new challenge, confront the fear of the unknown and dangers that are more or less real. Subtly, they challenge us with the courage and strength required for change and transformation. A metaphor for the conquest of autonomy and freedom.
