Dans cette adaptation libre de huit pièces chorégraphiques du dernier spectacle de la troupe LaLaLa Human Steps, la flamboyante Louise Lecavalier nous entraîne avec les autres danseurs de la célèbre compagnie montréalaise dans un univers onirique qui déstabilise notre perception de la fiction, de l'art et de la danse. Guidé par une femme qui rêve, le spectateur entreprend un voyage rythmé par l'enchaînement envoûtant de chorégraphies à la gestuelle à la fois sensuelle et brutale. Cet intrigant voyage chorégraphique se déroule dans un musée imaginaire où les célèbres tableaux du grand maître de la peinture expagnole de la Renaissance Diego Velasquez prennent vie et deviennent le lieu d'une confrontation et d'un échange entre l'esthétique riche et troublante de la peinture du Siècle d'or et l'univers explosif de la danse contemporaine. Le jeu complexe des doubles et des miroirs y crée un réseau labyrinthique de correspondances qui semble s'ouvrir sur l'infini...

This free adaptation of eight choreographies from the latest stage production of the acclaimed Montréal dance troupe LaLaLa Human Steps features the flamboyant Louise Lecavalier, accompanied by the other dancers of the company. Through the dreams of a mysterious woman, the spectator is guided into a dream-like world where the boundaries between fantasy, fiction, art and dance dissolve. Thus begins a rhythmic journey through a series of breathtaking choreographies whose movements are at once sensual and brutal. This intriguing voyage takes place in an imaginary museum inhabited by the world of the famous Spanish Renaissance master Diego Velazquez. His paintings are brought to life, forcing a confrontation between the rich and troubling art of the past and the explosive world of contemporary dance. Through an intricate play of doubles and mirrors, the spectator is guided through a labyrinth where everything seems to be involved in an infinite process of creation and recreation.
