La Nuit Des Idées is an annual event dedicated to the free circulation of ideas and knowledge coordinated by Institut Français. As part of this event, the Alliance Française of Calgary, Halifax, Moncton and Vancouver in Canada present [EN NOS APARTÉS / ASIDE], a multi-cities dance project built in collaboration with the French company Les Parleuses.
10,620 kilometers, 2 continents, an ocean and 5 cities. For a few weeks, 7 dancers will connect across these distances and will share with each other a series of texts, audios, pictures, collections to create a piece that will prove that bodies could be present and absent, here, there and elsewhere, isolated and connected, close and far.
