Animal Triste

Mayday

Quebec

“We humans draw from the vast history of the world to highlight our own little stories. From the evolution of species to the fall of civilizations, we push forward.” – Mélanie Demers

Overview

Animal Triste is a study of the nature and posture of humanity – poor and perishable one day, free and triumphant the next. Though human beings know that life is finite, they deny their mortality. They conquer, dominate, oppress. And procreate. Visceral and highly charged, Animal Triste will ask you to investigate how our instincts actually drive our relationships, despite our blinding delusions.

MAYDAY choreographer and artistic director Mélanie Demers uses the stage as a platform to examine the role of the artist, exposing the dark corners of the human condition.
