SINGLE TICKETS: $15 for all ages
Vancouver - At Nightfall, intended for audiences ages 4 and up, is a poetic work celebrating delicacy, sparseness and slowness. It testifies to the importance of people sometimes stopping, looking around, and maintaining an essential connection with nature and its cycles. This piece examines the close link between the real and the fantastic. The strong visual aspects of the work (set, costumes, lighting), as well as the music and the sound effects, convincingly support this choreographic theme. There is no dialogue in this production. The ideas are explored through the poetry of the body and the visuals. The show begins as Auguste prepares to take the train to go to the water forest. Through his contact with this universe and the creatures that live there, Auguste is transformed.from being tense, worried, tired, awkward and narrow-minded, to being calm, more confident. Auguste discovers the happiness and joy of stopping and looking beyond himself.
