NOBODY LIKES A PIXELATED SQUID

"...the vocabulary that this engaging duo brought to their work pertained to a larger truth about dance and creativity itself, namely, the more we add to our fractal layering of these dance motives, the deeper we get into the intrinsic nature of creativity itself until at last we arrive at a very personalized meaning of the universe: we all live to create more and find our satisfaction therein. The resolution of the 40-minute dance work certainly imparted this message clearly, leaving no one in doubt of the high quality of what they saw." Stephen Bonfield, Calgary Herald

Opérant une délectable fusion de la musique et du mouvement, ils inventent la géométrie d’une danse urbaine contemporaine tout en harmonie qu’ils qualifient de « hip-hop conceptuel », de « street dance déconstruite ». Dans Nobody Likes a Pixelated Squid, ils s’inspirent de la fluidité des mouvements de diverses créatures terrestres et aquatiques pour enrichir et peaufiner le duo magnétique présenté dans des versions plus courtes à Tangente et à Oslo. La version complète, une co-production de Danse Danse, a été bien reçue en pré-première à Dansens Hus à Stockholm, ainsi qu’à sa première canadienne à la Place-des-arts.
