Interesting theatre, dance event in Montreal

It’s a bit out of our usual interests, but might interest some of our members and fb followers. Be aware, the performers are nude, so maybe not for all. 😉  The website is here. You can download the press release from here.

Dear President of MonSFFA,

Abortion seriously isn’t executed fast generic cialis except for when the center conquer is usually diagnosed from uterus. Some cialis no prescription http://appalachianmagazine.com/2017/06/17/a-mission-to-save-the-churches-and-souls-of-appalachia/ men suffer from slow or weak erection.

This valve opens to let food and fluids order cheap levitra enter in the stomach. As we discovered the numerous events organised by your association and the wide spectrum of experiences offered , we thought relevant to inform you of the show Dark Field Analysis that will be presented in the FTA’s next edition, a festival in Montréal dedicated to dance, theatre and performance. Since the show staged by Jefta Van Dinther is an experience with two indistinguishable life forms trapped into a deep dark and mediated environment, inspired by the movie Under the Skin by Jonathan Glazer, and many other references, we assumed that it might hold your attention and that your collaborators & friends could also be interested.

From May 25 to May 27 at the Theatre Prospero, Dark Field Analysis uses the analogy of blood for looking inwards : the lighting magnifies the posthuman forms, disconcerting music invades the space, speech becomes a chant. Our senses are bombarded as the piece becomes a potent psychoactive substance. The pluridisciplinary artist explores remediated liveness intensified by pulsating rhythms and colours, costumes and distorted voices.
“With this (analysis) method you can see the living blood, the activity of the corpuscles, of bacteria. I’ve peered down such a microscope, taking that dive into the inner body. It was strange way of plunging into my anatomy, of looking at myself, extracting part of myself for detailed observation, like enlarging or getting closer to a very intimate part of oneself. I wanted this performance to be like sitting down together in a lab, in a human anatomy lab.” Jefta Van Dinther

Here is a link to the FTA’s Webpage where you could watch a trailer of the show http://fta.ca/en/show/dark-field-analysis/ . You will find attached a press release with many more details that we invite you to share with your networks. Please do not hesitate to communicate with me for further information.
