Sovann Rochon-Prom Tep

Un temps pour tout

• Description

  The artists welcome you in a space where conviviality feels like a church basement talent show. Doors open on their universe of experiments where the atmosphere vacillates between subtle and crude.

  The dancers: Pax, Jigsaw and Sangwn are pillars of the hip-hop dance community in Montreal. As powerful as they are fragile, the long-time accomplices expose themselves to the witnessing glances while the musicians work the sound atmosphere with sensitivity and a committed presence. Together, they redefine their art by reconfiguring their sharing context.

  Seeking to evoke an empathic reaction from their audience, the work is built less with artifices, approaching representation as a privileged moment of meeting, where the transparency of the performers touches on reality as much as on the ideal.

  This project was supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.

  Premiere: January 31, 2019, La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines, Montreal. 

  « Un temps pour tout » received the support of Centre Chorégraphique O Vertigo – CCOV within the RBC Emerging Artists programm.
