Festival Quartiers Danses presents

Montreal & New York Evening

This evening’s choreographies will take you into the singular and profound worlds of artists from Montreal and New York. Discover choreographers Emma-Lynn Mackay Ronacher, Maya Orchin & Stefanie Nelson and duo Rebecca Margolick & Jason Martin.

What She Saw by Emma-Lynn Mackay Ronacher
What She Saw is a solo performance that depicts 11 years of diary through movement, theatre and music. Inspired by the emotions described in the diary, it explores the key moments of adolescence, from age 12 to 23, and the personal development that follows.

Nostra Dea : 2 by Maya Orchin & Stefanie Nelson
Nostra Dea : 2 is a contemporary dance duet inspired by Massimo Bontempelli’s play Nostra Dea (1925). The piece explores the different facets of the character of Dea, an agent of chaos who embodies the unpredictability and changing nature of identity. The soundtrack blends electronic rhythms, orchestral arrangements and ambient sounds to reflect Dea’s unpredictable and enigmatic presence.

The One(s) Who Never Lived by Rebecca Margolick
In this performance, two individuals explore the balance between order and spontaneity, creation and destruction. Their synchronized precision movements evoke the regularity of modern industrial processes and assembly-line work, while underlining their own duality. They act as channels, representing the complex interplay between attraction and repulsion, indifference and the need for emotional connection and vitality.
