Encore: Dance Side of the Moon

MainLine Theatre

Dance Side Of The Moon is re-imagining of the greatest concept album of all time. Using movement, music, and video projection, Simard creates a hauntingly poetic reflection on fear, isolation, and hope. Performed by Fringe favourite Maxine Segalowitz and featuring original video work by Kim-Sanh Châu, Dance Side Of The Moon is a surrealist treat for the senses that intimately explores our collective need for genuine human connection.

Interpreté par Maxine Segalowitz, avec des projections vidéos projections par Kim-Sanh Châu, Dance Side of the Moon est une expérience surréaliste qui explore de façon intime notre besoin pour une connexion humaine et authentique.

"Tango in fusion est une œuvre qui combine l’art du tango avec différents styles de danse. Ceux-ci permettent de visualiser par le mouvement et la dramaturgie, certains conflits socioculturels et émotionnels auxquels nous sommes tous confrontés.

Les artistes de tango in fusion s’expriment à travers d’histoires personnelles une extase de la danse du tango dans son essence. Ce qui permet aussi avec la diversité des autres types de mouvements et musique. une connexion avec le spectateur afin de visualiser et briser différents stéréotypes socioculturels."
