Battleground

Fou Glorieux

Quebec

When two antiheroes are locked in a battle that doesn’t make any sense, who wins? This fight is a strange scuffle of confrontation, avoidance and surrender.

Overview

Canadian contemporary dance icon Louise Lecavalier explores new territory with Battleground, a solo and duet inspired by two Italo Calvino characters. The stage is a fight ring where a thousand battles are waged, both ephemeral and extreme. In a mad, unclassifiable dance, the two characters allow glimpses into their ideals and disillusionments.

Daring and intense, this show will enthral you with its fierce physicality.
