Photos of CABANE – Dance Umbrella 2009
CABANE (Cabin) continues Paul-Andre Fortiers exploration of unusual performance sites, this time using several, surprisingly different indoor locations. Each will create a distinctive ambience and audiences are encouraged to see Cabane in more than one venue.
Fortier and visual artist/musician, Rober Racine, are reminiscent of characters from a Beckett play as they skillfully draw the audience in to their eccentric world using movement, audio-visual effects and props as their playthings. The result is at once bizarre, intriguing and touching.
