Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie Presents LES CHEMINEMENTS DE l'INFLUENCE (Pathways of Influence), 2/15-25

Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie present the world premiere of Les cheminiments de l'influence (The Pathways of Influence) in their newly-opened and freshly-renovated home and centre for contemporary dance, The Citadel. Created and performed by co-Artistic Director Laurence Lemieux, this striking solo dance work is a tribute to her father, eminent political scientist and sociologist Vincent Lemieux.

 

Jumping from page to stage, she embodies his groundbreaking work with physicality and passion, contrasting the immediateness of the dancer's body with a grand visual scale.

 

"I hope," Lemieux said, "to retrace in dance some of the pathways he has travelled in his wide-ranging studies, to capture something of the spirit of his methodology - its scientific precision as well as its remarkable artistry. He researches 'the Quebec people;' my research takes me into the memories and passions of this one, particular Quebecois person."
