World Premiere of this new, full evening solo performance highlights Alexis’ rigorous and virtuosic contemporary movement language, as well as her reflective, personal insights into the human experience. Evocative musical scores by Sigur Rós and Dustin O’Halloran set the tone for this contemplative evening of contemporary dance.
In assemble, we follow the solo performer, described as “honed and intensely expressive” by Stir Magazine, through rich and theatrical stage environments created by visual designer and filmmaker Sylvain Senez, and lighting designer Victoria Bell.
This 55 minute performance is a poetic work focused on how the sharing of our individual, personal stories can and should encourage others to reflect on their own. assemble weaves together layers of text – written and spoken primarily by Fletcher herself – with Senez’s multifaceted set design and projected films, which transform the stage atmosphere continuously throughout the performance. assemble explores memory, loss, and the capacity of human beings to voyage inward; finding in themselves reserves of hope, joy, and personal growth even within times of struggle.
