SINK: new solo
at Transatlantique Montréal / Festival Quartiers Danse
September 18 at 8 pm
Maison de la culture Côte-des-Neiges
5290, chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges
Info: 514 872 6889
Métro Côte-des-Neiges
Montreal
Choreography and performance: Lina Cruz
Music: Philippe Noireaut
This solo evolves in relation to a sink (as a non-functional detached object). As Lina states herself: " Props are my intimate partners in solo work,
SINK is no exception... I found my SINK partner in the garbage, in an alley, a couple of years ago. It was love at first SINK!!! He waited patiently in
a locker in my basement, now he is out and leading the ball!"
An excerpt of SINK was presented in December 2011 in Toronto by Older & Reckless, a program presented by Claudia Moore and Moonhorse
Dance Theatre. A further developed version was presented on June 2, 2102 at the Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival.
SINK was created thanks to a research grant from the Quebec Arts Council and a production grant from the Montreal Arts Council.
