Alliance Française Vancouver presents Audrey Gaussiran’s MOSAÏCO, a piece that combines dance and digital art, on November 20 at 7:30 pm.

MOSAÏCO explores the multiplicity in identity construction by featuring five dancers onstage who are from culturally diverse backgrounds: Gaussiran, Aly Keita, Andrea Nino Sarmiento, Aymen Benkreira, and Emmanuelle Martin. They support the theme with a rhythmic gestural vocabulary.

The dancers’ movements influence a highly reactive digital projection in the background; the appearance, transformation, or decomposition of a textured mosaic changes with the performers’ gestures. MOSAÏCO is punctuated with poetic texts by Gaussiran, Sarah Khilaji, Paul Zakarivan, and Jean-Pierre Gorkynian, providing audiences with insight into the profound reflection that fuelled the choreographic process.

Gaussiran offers a visceral vision of the world’s current issues in MOSAÏCO. Flamenco, contemporary, oriental, Latin, and urban dance interweave to create a singular polyglot body language.
