Compagnie Catherine Gaudet’s Les jolies choses

DanceHouse presents Compagnie Catherine Gaudet’s hypnotic work, Les jolies choses (The Pretty Things), on stage November 22 & 23, 2024 at 8pm at the Vancouver Playhouse. Through synchronized, metronomic rhythms, the full-length work challenges mandatory conformity and cohesion and turns the body itself into a spectacle through rigorous repetition and mechanistic rituals, accompanied by a minimalist score by Antoine Berthiaume. The power of endurance is on full display, and the result is at once visceral, impactful and achingly beautiful. DanceHouse’s presentation of Les jolies choses (The Pretty Things) will also feature a pre-show talk at 7:15pm each evening. For tickets and further information, visit: dancehouse.ca
