SUMMARY:Recirquel
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by Dance House Vancouver and The Cultch. \nThe stage as a living being: ineffable\, transcendent is the atmosphere of Paradisum. \nHungary’s cirque dance company Recirquel\, under the direction of the company’s artistic director and choreographer Bence Vági\, brings intellectual rigour to traditional circus acts\, braiding together vertiginous risk with a profound emotional core. Alive with a spiritual intelligence\, Paradisum transfigures feats of strength and agility into iconographic images. \nWith its reference to a post-apocalyptic world\, Paradisum summons archetypal figures\, each engaged with the overwhelming effort of existence. Elevating aerial and groundwork\, elements of stagecraft — a rippling black drape\, a ladder\, rings\, a hoop — create otherworldly vistas. Underpinning the larger cosmological ideas with concrete manifestations\, the work is both deeply grounded in the earth and yet defiant of gravity. \nAs the performers carve out moments of stillness and grace: the truth of the body emerges in all its primal antediluvian power. Rebirth is too limited a term: this is anima mundi (world soul).

SUMMARY:Cherish Menzo / Frascati Producties
DESCRIPTION:Through a collision of physical performance\, hip hop visual language\, and the slowed\, distorted flow of chopped-and-screwed sound\, JEZEBEL reclaims the hyper-sexualized image of the “video vixen” that defined hip hop’s golden age. Once framed through a male gaze that fetishized and vilified Black femininity\, the vixen now steps into her own frame—stretching the image until its artifice becomes her authorship. \nDrawing from the glossy aesthetics of MTV-era music videos and the syrupy deceleration of Southern hip hop remix culture\, this electrifying solo work deconstructs the myths of the “hip hop honey\,” refracting her through feminist\, racial\, and cultural awakenings. What emerges is a portrait of a woman both muse and maker: unapologetic and self-possessed. With a bass-heavy soundscape and arresting physicality\, JEZEBEL asks—who gets to look\, and who gets to define what they see?

SUMMARY:Khalil Albatran / Bilal Alkhatib
DESCRIPTION:How does a name shape a destiny? \nKhalil Albatran was named for his brother\, a martyr of the First Palestinian Intifada. In a family where the name carries both honour and grief\, he has lived as a continuation of another life—one that ended before his began. \nThrough movement and music\, Khalil Khalil becomes a dialogue between presence and absence. The artist places his body in direct conversation with memory\, confronting what it means to live as both an echo and an original. Each movement negotiates the distance between what is remembered and what is alive now. \nBeyond one man’s story\, the work opens a window onto a shared experience for many who bear the names of the fallen. A performance in which the artist confronts an existential question: can a body exist beyond the history it inherits?

SUMMARY:Action at a Distance/Vanessa Goodman
DESCRIPTION:WAIL is crafted as a poem for our present moment\, weaving generative sound and movement together to capture the essence of shared experience in a time marked by dissonance. Delving into the intricate dance of navigating joy within community\, six dance artists create a living score\, intertwining physical and sonic compositions. The work draws inspiration from botanical distortions and auditory illusions to forge a sense of intimacy between humanity and the natural world\, ultimately celebrating resilience in the face of chaos. \nThis transformative and timely world premiere sees Vanessa Goodman\, an award-winning West Coast choreographer who tours internationally\, continue to probe the interconnectedness of bodies\, technology and ecosystems. \nPost-show artist talkback January 27

SUMMARY:Royal Winnipeg Ballet
DESCRIPTION:T’əl: The Wild Man of the Woods marks a bold new chapter in the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s repertoire. Choreographed by RWB School alumnus\, Choreographer Cameron Fraser-Monroe\, this west-coast première unfolds an Indigenous legend through the lens of a fully Indigenous creative team. \nNarrated in both English and Ayajuthem by Elder Elsie Paul\, the story follows a fearless young woman who sets out to rescue her sister from T’əl\, a dark figure who steals children under the cover of night. The evocative original score is composed by Cris Derksen\, a JUNO-nominated\, Two-Spirit cellist and composer. With stunning costume design by Asa Benally (Navajo designer and Yale alumnus)\, T’əl is a powerful fusion of movement\, music\, and storytelling that honours the richness of oral tradition. \nOne of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s most requested productions\, Carmina Burana is a feast for the senses—visually stunning\, musically absorbing\, and emotionally pounding. Choreographed by internationally acclaimed artist Mauricio Wainrot\, this electrifying work fuses bold\, athletic movement with Carl Orff’s cantata to create a visceral experience that transcends traditional storytelling. \nEach scene pulses with energy and emotion\, shifting seamlessly between moments of erratic intensity\, tender romanticism\, and unabashed sensuality. With sculptural lighting and costuming\, and an ensemble of dancers moving as one powerful organism\, Carmina Burana becomes more than performance—it becomes like ritual.

SUMMARY:Jerahuni Movement Factory
DESCRIPTION:Kamwe Kamwe (One by One) is a force of movement and song—a meeting of ancestral rhythm and contemporary resistance. On a sand-covered stage\, four Zimbabwean dancers move through a terrain of poles\, elastics\, and projected images\, their bodies speaking what history has silenced. Echoes of those disappeared through colonial and ongoing violence are carried in the haunting truths revealed through body and voice. \nChoreography that transforms dance into testimony\, this is a reckoning on racism and human rights—a body-to-body reminder that liberation is built in motion\, and that no one moves forward alone. Kamwe Kamwe (One by One) is both protest and prayer: a dance of solidarity rising from the dust.

SUMMARY:Lara Kramer
DESCRIPTION:Remember that time we met in the future? moves through a world in transformation—where land\, light\, sound\, and memory converge. Within a shifting terrain of salvaged materials and spectral landscapes\, four Indigenous artists journey through nonlinear time\, where body and land\, spirit and matter are inseparable. \nEach movement is a trace of ancestral memory\, of futures unfolding\, of a pulse shared between beings and worlds. Through intimate physicality\, layered imagery\, and atmospheric force\, the performers navigate a landscape of story\, ritual\, and resonance. \nThis is not dance as spectacle\, but as invocation where stillness holds weight\, sound becomes breath\, and tenderness meets storm. In this durational dreamscape\, the dancers walk with more-than-human kin\, carrying the gravity of lived experience and the glow of emergent futures. Remember that time we met in the future? invites audiences into a present stretched by memory\, a space of becoming\, of heartbeats carried forward.

SUMMARY:Alan Lake Factori(e)
DESCRIPTION:Orpheus reimagines the myth of descent as a visceral dance through darkness toward connection and renewal. Choreographer Alan Lake constructs an immersive world of image and movement where body\, matter\, and light converge—oscillating between dream and reality. Within this charged landscape\, the performers navigate rupture and transformation\, their physicality both raw and transcendent. \nLake’s choreography merges the mythic and the human\, urging us to face the fractures of our humanity—division\, conflict\, isolation—and to reach for one another. Both intimate and monumental\, Orpheus is dance as myth\, as mirror\, as act of faith—inviting us to drink from the fire and emerge changed.

SUMMARY:Plastic Orchid Factory/James Gnam
DESCRIPTION:Two people move through midlife\, tracing what was and what could be. \nIn Catching Up to the Future of Our Past\, Natalie LeFebvre Gnam and James Gnam explore time as something elastic—stretching between memory and possibility. Inside a Mary Quant–inspired\, retro-futurist bubble\, their duet plays with the weight and lightness of time passing. \nThe piece sits where nostalgia and anticipation meet\, tracing how time stretches between what we remember and what we imagine. Every gesture becomes a reminder of how the past shapes what’s ahead—and how the future reshapes what we remember. \nPost-show artist talkback January 30 \nFuture Past x Slow Social Feb 1\, 2pm: register \nPROGRAM
