SUMMARY:James Gnam
DESCRIPTION:Entre Chien et Loup names the fragile hour when the world slips out of certainty. It is twilight — the gloaming — when light thins and the contours of things begin to blur. The phrase comes from an old French sensitivity to atmosphere: the threshold when day loosens its grip and night begins to gather\, when colours drain into blue and grey and edges soften. What was once clear becomes ambiguous. \nBetween dog and wolf lies an hour of transformation\, when the known and the unknown coexist\, and safety and danger\, intimacy and distance\, the domestic and the feral share the same ground. It is a time when imagination awakens and perception becomes uncertain. \nIn this collaboration\, choreographer James Gnam\, composer and sound artist Scott Morgan\, lighting designer James Proudfoot\, and media artist Eric Chad work together to explore a shared landscape of perception and transformation. Together\, they create a shifting perceptual terrain where the boundaries between presence and absence\, form and atmosphere\, body and environment remain fluid. The work invites audiences into a threshold space — where perception becomes unstable\, imagination awakens\, and the familiar world briefly transforms.

SUMMARY:Ballet BC
DESCRIPTION:Ballet BC opens their season with a double bill from Dutch sibling choreographic duo Imre and Marne van Opstal\, whose evocative work sees dance as a poetic\, emotional laboratory—exploring the vulnerability of being human in all its rawness\, beauty\, and absurdity. Since their 2022 Ballet BC debut with the electric Heart Drive\, their meteoric rise has included starry collaborations with the likes of Dior and FKA Twigs\, Germany’s prestigious Der Faust Award for the visionary and hallucinatory Voodoo Waltz\, and major new commissions from the Gothenburg Opera Dance Company and the Paris Opera Ballet\, among others. \nExperience their acclaimed I’m afraid to forget your smile along with a highly anticipated new creation.

SUMMARY:Meghann Michalsky
DESCRIPTION:Making its world premiere at the 2026 Chutzpah! Festival is Meghann Michalsky’s Exile. Selected for the Banff Centre’s Final Tuning Program\, this 5-dancer piece explores the boundaries of Meghann’s primal and rigorous movement signature. These boundaries are pushed to their limit to delve into themes of mass unity\, euphoric groove\, riotous energy\, and surrender. \nThis work grew from Meghann’s personal journey\, where wind and water have been a source of salvation. The work is set in a world where water and wind are both scarce and sacred\, and where Exile serves as a contemporary reflection on displacement\, resilience\, and transformation. Dancing alongside Meghann will be Reese Wilson\, Kaili Che\, Maddy Cruz\, and Kelsie Vanstone.

SUMMARY:Belle Spirale Dance Projects and Vancouver Chamber Choir
DESCRIPTION:Belle Spirale Dance Projects and Vancouver Chamber Choir\, in partnership with Covenant House Vancouver\, present The Little Match Girl\, 2026. In an ambitious reimagining of David Lang’s Pulitzer Prize-winning choral composition The Little Match Girl Passion\, 10 Belle Spirale dancers join the choir’s 16 singers\, led by Kari Turunen\, in a live production that unites movement\, voice\, and light in a deeply moving meditation on hope\, dignity\, and our shared humanity. \nChoreographed by Kevin O’Day and featuring special guest artist Alba Nadal\, this striking reinterpretation of Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved tale transplants a young girl’s journey into the reality of contemporary Canadian streets — where each match she strikes becomes an act of hope\, a fragment of memory\, a quiet assertion of dignity. \nSuitable for ages 12 and up. \nEducational tables in the lobby will connect audiences with Covenant House’s life-changing front-line work supporting youth experiencing homelessness.

SUMMARY:Barbara Matijevic & Giuseppe Chico
DESCRIPTION:Forecasting takes you on a mesmerizing journey through the vast\, intimate\, and often absurd world of amateur YouTube videos. On a bare stage\, a single performer and a laptop become a portal into thousands of ordinary lives — food lovers\, fitness buffs\, gardeners\, pet owners\, quiet walkers\, secret confessors. As the screen shifts between mask and mirror\, her voice weaves into the videos until the boundary between self and stream dissolves. Part performance\, part meditation\, Forecasting is a poetic portrait of who we are when we think no one — and everyone — is watching. \nPost-show artist talkback November 14

SUMMARY:soma anima arts
DESCRIPTION:Bright Shadow invites us into a world suspended between hope and despair\, where utopia and dystopia exist side by side. Through contemporary dance\, live music\, spoken word and immersive digital imagery\, the performance asks a shared question: What kind of world do we want to build together? \nInspired by Carl Jung’s idea of the Golden Shadow\, the work explores the hidden potential within humanity and the light that emerges when we face uncertainty with imagination and care. Audience members are not only witnesses but participants: interactive technologies allow their presence and choices to influence the evolving visual world in real time. \nFluid\, tender movement meets fractured\, restless imagery\, reflecting the tensions and possibilities of our times. As the performance unfolds\, Bright Shadow becomes a living dialogue between bodies\, technology and community; a reminder that the future is not fixed\, but shaped collectively\, moment by moment.
