BOOMERANG-DANSES PARTAGÉES

Boomerang – danses partagées is an event developed by EDCM which supports creativity, talent and know-how of contemporary dance artists. It aims to act as a professional springboard for emerging contemporary dance artists.

This platform gives an opportunity to EDCM graduates to present the result of their creation. This event highlights of three choreographic pieces. The public is invited to interact with choreographers and artists involved at the end of the performance. Feedback from the audience, who is part of this experience, provides artists useful information in order to develop a choreographic signature and artists’ personal universes.

The choreographic projects, created by emerging artists who are graduates of the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal, will be presented publicly on Monday, April 20, 2026, at 7 p.m. at La Sala Rossa.

Program

Glitterfang – Clara Biernacki
When I was six, I dipped my tooth into a jar of water, hoping a fairy would turn it into something magical. Glitterfang.
This solo piece examines the hierarchy of the self and explores themes of perception, girlhood, and the erosion of performance.
What does it mean to be torn between instinctive freedom and the violence of constraint?

Roots – Oly Dion
Roots offers a glimpse into the impact of power hierarchies. Born out of a pressing need to shed light on the source of our struggles, the play examines how we rely on acts of defiance to resolve conflicts and address contemporary challenges.

Fanée; je veux danser toute la nuit avec toi – Coralie Fortier
This two-part solo immerses the audience in an intimate and emotional experience.
The first part draws us into a dancing memory: a rockstar experiences the end of a toxic relationship, confronted by the shadows of her past until she loses control. The return to reality is brutal, and she finally catches her breath.
The second part marks her rebirth. Through a simple tulle skirt, she explores the buried traces of her childhood and gradually transforms into a flower-woman. A gentle reminder that even a flower knocked down by the rain is never completely wilted.
