DIRT (2025)

Set in a dystopian future where plants no longer grow, an orphan is entrusted with a profound mission: to relocate the last living flower to a sanctuary where it can thrive, a delicate symbol of nature's essence and the boundless creativity of the inner child.

Powered by Elon Höglund, DIRT is a powerful reflection on our primal connection to the earth, to dirt and the source of all life.  A quintet integrating puppetry and intricate partnering seeded in conceptual Hip Hop.

Premiering April 9th 2025 at Agora de la danse, Montréal.
