What can we expect from the unexpected? What can we recognize in the chaotic, in a world governed by unpredictability?
We All Fall Down Interdisciplinary Creations (WAFD) is proud to bring you choreographer Helen Simard’s PAPILLON. Drawing on the aesthetics of street and contemporary dance, PAPILLON juxtaposes three solos and a live experimental soundtrack in a complex trio that explores the delicate balance between order and disorder.
For 50 minutes, three dancers weave in and out of sync through a complex choreographic partition, supported by a live, hypnotic musical soundtrack that blends the sounds and rhythms of jazz, hip-hop and drum’n’bass. Inspired by chaos theory and mathematical equations, PAPILLON is a raw, engulfing reflection on loneliness and togetherness, singularity and similarity, metamorphosis and above all, the importance of human connection.
After countless cancellations and adaptations due to the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, PAPILLON is finally ready to emerge transformed from its cocoon and meet Montreal audiences.
“I am shocked into awe by this team who performed their show for an audience of atoms and light waves and energy, which cannot be destroyed but only changed. I am inched forward into movement, like an electron. Like a butterfly.”
—Tara McGowan-Ross, Broadway World

"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."
