Prismes
Marie Béland
Choreographic and chromatic journey conceived to shake, tease and haunt, Prismes engages performers and spectators in games of perception by studying the presence of the body, working on luminosity and on the ways bodies interact with each other. An intense, destabilizing and jubilant experience.
With the complicity of lighting designer Lucie Bazzo and six breathtaking performers, Prismes raises and awakens different presences by playing with bright, fluctuating and outrageously complimentary colors, creating imbalance and shift, amplifying illusion or altering symmetry.
Benoît Lachambre questions the truth, the accuracy of presence. In the process, the spectators’ retinal, as well as their emotional and physical imprints, are activated with obvious visual pleasure.
As a renowned choreographer and performer, Benoît Lachambre is committed to an exploratory and kinesthetic approach to movement and its sources, always with the idea of rediscovering an authenticity of gesture and modifying the performer’s empathic experience with the audience. He has acquired great notoriety as a teacher through classes and workshops he has given around the world for over 20 years.
Prismes is a production of Montréal Danse for which Benoît Lachambre received the CALQ prize for the best choreographic work in Quebec during the 2013-2014 season.
