6 & 9 – Tao Ye – May 23-25, Théâtre Jean-Duceppe LiveEvents May 17, 2018 2155 6 & 9 – Tao Ye Festival TransAmériques 2018 Opening Show Masterpieces of abstract beauty, a tribute to the potential and perseverance of the human body, these two pieces dazzle with their minimalism and virtuosity. The young Chinese choreographer Tao Ye directs his dancers brilliantly, creating a magnetic, almost sacred presence. The titles refer to the number of dancers in each piece, and 6 and 9 are characterized by the undulating movement of the dancers performing in a space suffused with shadow and light. Tableaux of extraordinary fluidity, sparing and mysterious, 6 and 9 provoke an aesthetic and metaphysical shock. Duration: 1 h 15 including an intermission For information and tickets: www.placedesarts.com 514-842-2112 or 1-866-842-2112
