Other Animals
In this new creation by Alexandre Morin, twelve performers try to find their way in a world where more than ever screens reign supreme.
Cutting Through the Noise is an energetic journey, an exaltation through the body and the music, a stream of liberating states, a search for identity carried by generous and insatiable beings. A playlist inspired by EBM (electronic body music), evoking the energy of a nightclub, drives the movement. Through the power of the collective, Cutting Through the Noise offers an alternative to the dizzying ambient noise and the loneliness to better find ourselves together, alive and united.
The choreographer, dancer and visual artist Alexandre Morin studied at the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal, and in 2011 received a developing artist grant from the Hnatyshyn Foundation. As a performer, he has danced for Compagnie Marie Chouinard, Sylvain Émard Danse, Système D/Dominique Porte, Sébastien Provencher and Fleuve-Espace Danse. In 2020 he co-founded Other Animals with Jonathan Goulet. In 2022 Alexandre was selected to take part in an Italy/Quebec dance exchange program offered by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, Circuit-Est and the CSC Centro per la Scena Contemporanea in Bassano. The 2023–2024 season will prove pivotal for Other Animals by presenting Anatomie d’un moteur (2023) and Cutting Through the Noise (2024) at l’Agora de la danse as well as Plasticity/Desires (2024) in co-presentation with MAI, Montréal arts interculturels and La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines.
