Impulstanz: The modesty of icebergs – Daniel Leveillé

Another one of the poster productions of this year’s Impulstanz, Daniel Leveillé’s new work is graced not only by the strong image of three naked men flying but also by a chillingly poetic title The Modesty of Icebergs ( La pudeur des icebergs)…. The piece is difficult to describe as there was no particular narrative but rather a cyclical repetition of the same movements with an ensemble comprised mainly of three men but augmented at times to as many as five men and one woman.

Impulstanz: bODY_rEMIX/gOLDBERG_vARIATIONS – Marie Chouinard

At one point, Chi Long crosses the stage on mini-crutches on her arms, somehow managing to move and dance with her legs almost horizontal behind her…. The music for all this is either Bach’s Goldberg Variations or some sort of atmospheric drone with what sounds like sampled and heavily distorted Glenn Gould intoning “I would never argue in favor of an inflexible musical policy”.
