Sans quoi nous crèverons
A lucid witness to today’s pressing issues, Virginie Brunelle casts an incisive gaze on a planet in overdrive. She delivers a commanding choreography — a vibrant fight for love and solidarity.
With its bursts of attack and raw momentum, Virginie Brunelle’s cathartic dance shakes the cage and probes a fractured humanity from every angle. In Sans quoi nous crèverons, she tackles themes of chaos and dehumanization, creating a rampart where unity stands as a vital counterweight.
On stage, five performers embody a collective force where physical intensity becomes language. Their visceral, precise gestures reveal a profound connection. Every breath, every muscular tremor is woven into a human, deeply felt tapestry.
Fueled by Laurier Rajotte’s organic music, the performance resonates like a liberating cry against alienation and the slow erosion of our human condition — an invitation to live at the fullest.
