His new work expresses a bold artistic vision. A modern fable performed by four exceptional dancers. Theatre, music, technology, and gestures tinged with classicism intertwine in this contemporary choreographic narrative. Inspired by a story written by the librettist Royce Vavrek, Guillaume Côté imagines a work that invites a reflection on beauty and our obstinate need to control and transform it. Fascinated by avant-garde artistic forms, the choreographer / performer Guillaume Côté teams up with three exceptional dancers. Featuring a rich musical landscape by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson and stunning visual effects by Montreal multimedia company Mirari, Crypto is the result of a collaborative approach that reveals the original and surprising signature of a creator to be discovered!
