Win tickets to the 2018 VIDF opening night presentation of Lucie Grégoire Danse’s Les Choses dernières at the Roundhouse Performance Centre on March 20, 2018 at 8 p.m.

Les Choses dernières is an emotional work freely inspired by Paul Auster’s novel In the Country of Last Things. Acclaimed dancer Isabelle Poirier performs in this remount and becomes a woman emerging from the night, as if from a hidden, obscure territory. Her gestures promise to scrutinize time; her body is ever poised to flee, to the point of transparency. In ‘the country of last things’ where everything is disintegrating, she keeps wandering, impelled by the urgency of survival. Lighting by Alain Lortie and music by Robert M. Lepage enhance this work, enveloping the stage in a cinematic aura filled with a veiled, yet inflamed sensuality.
