Trailer
Created in 2002 to an original score composed by Jean Derome, La femme ovale is one of Louise Bédard’s major choreographic pieces. Almost 20 years later, the solo is re-created on a bare stage by the dancer Marilyn Daoust, in a costume designed by Angelo Barsetti, transporting us to a dense universe where the serious meets the unbridled. With her restless temperament and nervous gestures, this enigmatic woman-girl-child deploys her entire luminous being to reveal her fragile solidity.
