The final act: Montreal shines with Hélène Simoneau and Jane Mappin, while Ballet Wrocław brings the elegance and grace of Polish ballet to life.
To Belong To by Hélène Simoneau
In To Belong To, choreographer Hélène Simoneau delicately explores the dynamics of power, connection, and belonging. In collaboration with an exceptional artistic team, she investigates the invisible forces that bring us together or set us apart. Between collective responsibility and the desire to be seen, the piece reveals the subtle line between genuine inclusion and mere integration.
Étude 3: Fleeting moments: studies on being human by Jane Mappin
In Étude 3: Fleeting Moments: studies on being human, choreographer and performer Jane Mappin, with a 45-year career under her belt, teams up with cellist Erich Kory to explore human memory and its distortions. Between altered memories, imagination and indelible body memory, this sensitive solo tackles the complexity of our inner narratives. Part of a larger work, the piece offers an intimate and authentic reflection on what it means to be human.
In Tandem with the Wroclaw Opera Ballet
