Myokine is inspired by molecules released by the muscles during physical effort, associated with the regeneration of body and mind. The piece explores the connection between movement, hope, urgency, and resilience, while revealing how light and shadow respond to, oppose, and nourish each other. In a world sometimes perceived as dark, the choreography draws luminous bursts that can only exist at the heart of darkness.

The performers become architects, protectors, and messengers of a vital breath, seeking and sharing moments of clarity that pierce the gloom. For Anne Plamondon, these “molecules of hope” embody the body’s and dance’s salvatory role in the face of our era’s upheavals. Movement becomes an outlet, a place to welcome our vulnerabilities and transform them into a shared strength.
