MOSAÏCO
MOSAÏCO combines dance and digital art to explore the richness of identity in its plurality. This show explores what legacies are passed down to us from our family origins and the territories. This choreographic creation offers a profound meditation on the construction of identity, woven both through movement and visuals.
Flamenco, Québécois step dance, African, Latin, and urban dances come together to honour the diverse roots that nourish our mixed society. On stage, five dancers, with various cultural backgrounds, embody this theme through a rhythmic and eclectic vocabulary. Their movements influence a reactive digital projection in the background: a textured mosaic comes to life, transforming and decomposing according to the performers' motion. Poetic texts punctuate the piece, inviting the audience to delve into this introspection that fueled the creative process.
MOSAÏCO asserts itself as a work embracing cultural diversity, uniting different artistic disciplines and aesthetics.
