From a multitude of expressions is born a dance that finds grace and linearity; from chaos and fragmentation emerges sweetness and simplicity. A force of choreographic proposal for this animated dance which receives the "Animated dance nugget" of this 2018 edition.

" CODA, The Finale of The Rite of Spring" - 2014
11:00
From the shimmering ground slowly emerges a cluster of moving particles. The form is soon joined by several others, all similar, which dance like luminous bodies in the infinite space of the cosmos. These bodies with precarious status are shattered, are constantly made and undone to the rhythm of the finale of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring...
Using motion capture (MoCap) and particle processing, Denis Poulin and Martine Époque evoke nature, metaphorically approaching ecological themes by offering in the same gesture a contemporary reinterpretation of The Rite of Spring.From a cloud of shiny particles is thus born a world, a universe which is also a digital stage and where a first dancer is profiled evolving in a first environment...
CODA is both a genesis and an apocalypse, a demiurgic myth of the creation of the world, a condensed universe where space and time collide, unfold, dissolve...
