The Dance Centre presents the internationally acclaimed BC choreographer Daina Ashbee’s compelling new solo We learned a lot at our own funeral, which examines the notion of death.

Performed by the Italian dancer Imara Bosco, the choreography evokes a battle with the self: she challenges gravity, resists the ground, and overcomes precarious balances. Using movement, breath and voice, the work draws the audience – seated on all four sides of the stage - into a potent sense of ritual, echoing the communal experience of a funeral rite. The atmospheric score incorporates sounds from nature and haunting vocalizations.

We learned a lot at our own funeral is a profound meditation on the strength and fragility of the body.    

This performance includes full nudity.
