DanceHouse presents Daniel Léveillé’s masterwork Amour, acide et noix (Love, Acid and Nuts) at the Vancouver Playhouse on October 24 and 25 at 8 pm. The raw, full-length piece features four dancers performing fully nude, who use the mechanics of their arms, legs, torsos, and skulls to plumb the very nature of the human condition.
Set to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, pop music, and birdsong, the episodic piece encompasses a series of solos, duets, and ensemble parts. As the work unfolds, the shock of nudity quickly dissipates to reveal universal truths that lie beneath the surface: conflicting desires for connection and solitude, grounding and escape, and fragile vulnerability amid the heaviness of life.
DanceHouse’s presentation of Amour, acide et noix (Love, Acid and Nuts) features a pre-show talk at 7:15 pm each evening, plus a post-show reception in the Salon on October 24.
