An extraordinary dancer with a colossal career, she danced in Édouard Lock’s works for two decades, including unique collaborations with David Bowie and Frank Zappa. Louise Lecavalier returns to her roots: the raw joy of dancing. Her dance is impulsive, a constant dialogue between instinct and precision, freedom and discipline. An explosion. Explosion. Amazement. In silence, in sound, in the invisible rhythm that guides her, she crosses the stage like an unstoppable current. In this magnetic moment, the Canadian artist gifts us with her wandering dances (danses vagabondes).
