Trailer
This film will be presented during the event La Nuit de la danse on March 21, 2024 at Théâtre Outremont.
Hairy Dreams portrays the inner world of a solitary yet carefree character. Using both words and movement, this visually abstract narrative unfolds within a white cave-like space constructed of paper. Inside an origami-like igloo, a surreal collection of images exposes the daily life of an androgynous figure. Through a series of disparate actions, the character continuously constructs and deconstructs its transparent inner world. In this pursuit of an inner sanctuary, time remains a constant presence, simultaneously haunting and offering valuable companionship. Ultimately, the character’s daily routine leads to its primary objective: the vital necessity to nourish itself in order to sustain the ongoing dream.

Lina Cruz
Two time Dora Mavor Moore Award recipient (Outstanding Original Choreography, 2017 and 2012) and nominated for the same award in 2015, Lina Cruz creates intricate works in which strangeness always goes hand in hand with playfulness. After several years in Spain, Cruz joined the Montreal dance milieu in 1989, where she continued her dance career, receiving a second place award in the International Choreographic Competition of Festival des Arts de Saint-Sauveur in 1998 (Quebec). She founded Fila 13 Productions in 2003. She has created for dance companies and institutions across Canada and collaborated as choreographer with Atelier Lyrique de l’Opéra de Montréal, Contemporary Opera Chants Libres, Orchestre Nouvelle Génération and various theatre and multidisciplinary projects, integrating dance to the visual arts.
Originally from Colombia, Cruz trained internationally with scholarships in schools such as: Joffrey Ballet School (New York), Victor Ullate Ballet School (Madrid), Luis Fuente Ballet School (Madrid), Mudra (Brussels, school associated with Béjart’s 20th Century Ballet). She also trained with ballet masters Aurelio Bogado, Irina Brecher, Luis Ruffo, Carmina Ocaña, among other notable dance teachers and creators. She has had a passion for martial arts, obtaining a brown belt in Shotokan Karate.
