Wave is the last chapter of Sylvain Émard’s Climatology of Bodies cycle. In this highly acclaimed trilogy, Sylvain Émard uses the climate as a metaphor for external influences that affect our lives.
Wave explores with finesse our capacity and our individual desire to melt, to become part of an increasingly vast and multidimensional environment. Performed by five exceptional female dancers, this tidal wave sweeps forth to reveal dance as the exquisitely tuned music of bodies. Energetic, remarkable and moving beyond words.
Sylvain Émard first distinguished himself as a dancer working with renowned choreographers such as Jean-Pierre Perreault, Jo Lechay and Louise Bédard before he formed Sylvain Émard Danse, in 1987. His repertoire of over twenty unique pieces reveals a creator in full command of his talent, an artist who has won the admiration of audiences at home and abroad.
Sylvain Émard Danse gratefully acknowledges support from the Canada Arts Council, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and the Montreal Arts Council.
