CABANE ON TOUR ACROSS QUEBEC AND CANADA

This fall, Paul-André Fortier will present Cabane at the Agora de la danse on November 18 and 19, 2010. This will be its first time back in Montreal since its creation at the Festival TransAmériques in 2008.

« (…) Cabane, a multimedia work by choreographer Paul-André Fortier and performer, composer, designer and visual artist Rober Racine, charms with its ingenious constructions, including a harp made of steel mattress springs. As it travels from place to place, it is just the type of vehicle that allows art to break into new undiscovered places. » Libération, M.C Verney

Cabane will then go on tour across Quebec. It will be performed at Centennial Theatre in Lennoxville on November 9, at the Festival de théâtre in l’Assomption on November 13, then at La Rotonde centre chorégraphique in Quebec City on the November 23 and 24, followed by a performance at Théâtre du Bic on December 4, in Sept-Îles on March 7, 2011 and at Théâtre de Baie-Comeau on March 9.
Cabane will also cross Canada, with performances on February 3 and 5 at the Winnipeg’s Contemporary Dancers, on February 10 and 12 at DanceWorks in Toronto and then on February 17 and 19 at Live Arts Productions in Halifax.
