DIRT (2025)

Through its raw expression, this creation is a critique of humanity’s conquering relationship with the planet. The quintet mixes puppets and movements in an unusual conceptual hip-hop. Choreographed by Elon Höglund, this work is a profound meditation on our ancestral connection with the Earth.

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