O Vertigo (Canada)
La Chambre Blanche (Re-creation 2008)

Fri 10 & Sat 11 October, 8pm
The Place: Robin Howard Dance Theatre

Days Out    

Originally created in 1992, La Chambre Blanche is one of choreographer Ginette Laurin's most powerful works.

The piece explores the behaviours of a group of men and women when they are placed within a stark white room. Fast and physical in parts, quiet and contemplative in others, Laurin plays on the ambiguity of the setting to deliver a fascinating series of fractured narratives examining the different ways people react to the vulnerability and intimacy of imposed confinement.

‘Laurin takes not only her dancers on a roller coaster of emotions and nervous ticks, but quickly draws the audience in as well…they loved it.’ FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG
