LAMELLES

Directed by Cédric Delorme-Bouchard

" With Lamelles, Cédric Delorme-Bouchard offers an elegant, refined yet accessible guide to scenography; an intelligent and organic performance that is commanded by space and light. Cédric Delorme-Bouchard is a poet magician of light to whom one must succumb. "

Nathalie de Han, La Scena Musicale

List Title

As a starting point for this creation, director and scenographer Cédric Delorme-Bouchard designed a light device, a wall of light and fog. With this scenography as a playground, he composed a score for seven performers and dancers. The cutting of bodies by light then becomes a sensitive and phenomenological adventure, offering spectators a series of choreographic acts of magnificent strangeness oscillating between horror and the sublime, and exposing the fragility of the human condition.

"With Lamelles, Cédric Delorme-Bouchard cuts the human body into disconcerting poetry. The lighting designer, scenographer and director draws a curtain of light on stage, creating a clear boundary between the dancers and the audience." Radio-Canada Ottawa, Stéphanie Rhéaume

"The performance is undeniably a stylistic exercise, but executed with such mastery, in such an admirable quest for beauty, such a brilliant combination of formalism and emotion, that fascination is constantly present." Christian St-Pierre, Le Devoir

"Cédric Delorme-Bouchard has created this unique and audacious show, Lamelles, where he explores the body as I have never seen it before. (...) Cédric Delorme-Bouchard offers here something resolutely different that can only be an inspiration for creators. " Marie-Claire Girard, Huffington Post

"With Lamelles, Cédric Delorme-Bouchard signs a most fascinating first production. Arranging bodies and light in a show without words where music is omnipresent." Alexane Roy , MonThéâtre
