A contemporary dance performer and a resident of a long-term care facility share their concerns about aging. Nos petites mains, with its understated approach, strikes a beautiful balance between dance and nature, offering a delicate visual and emotional experience.
Director’s statement:
Our Hands was created in collaboration with Le Papillon Blanc Danse, a non-profit organization founded in 2013 that intervenes in healthcare settings to meet vulnerable, sick and frail people through the medium of contemporary dance. From January to February 2023, I followed the organization and its dancers through their process to inspire me to create a personal work that reflects my questions about old age, bringing to the fore all the beauty and grace that these essential encounters between dancers and residents have been able to evoke in me.
