A powerful, yet delicate solo exploring the inner landscapes living in the mind of a performer in search of breath, space, and transformation.
Drawing inspiration from somatic practices and meditation, Daina Ashbee creates a deeply physical and intimate journey for Alice Vermandele, whom she met in Quebec City in 2019. The body becomes a vessel for deep memory: Alice seems to rise to the water’s surface, reach the shore, then inhabit an immense space — beyond the visible. In this ritual of presence, the choreographer seeks to awaken a liberated feminine energy through a unique choreographic language.
Known for her radical works at the crossroads of dance and performance art, Ashbee transforms the stage into a space of revelation and resilience.
Everytime I come up for air (Solo for Alice) is the second work part of the Maison pour la danse collection, a series dedicated to the longevity and accessibility of choreographic art.
The double bill is presented with the support of Première Ovation.
