Trailer
With a mysterious voice as our guide, we follow the subtle movements of a dancer communing with nature, making its slow journey into the forest to reach an interior lake. Poetic and multidisciplinary, Batiscan-Neilson is a collaborative dance video exploring the creative impulse that emerges on contact with nature, from emancipation to technology. Choreographed by Miranda Chan, the work is a journey in dance through a forest in the controlled forest zone north of Portneuf. Shifting between highly stylized and more fluid motions, Chan’s performance is accompanied by ethereal music from Marc-André Labonté and Lia Kurihara. A sensitive portrayal of the ecological drama that sees us confined to the great bubble of planet Earth.
