“What does the Chinese launderer of the Saint Roch neighborhood dream about?” Nearly twenty years after it opened to critical acclaim, Canadian director Robert Lepage revives his six-hour “dragon” trilogy about an imaginary China seen through the eyes of two young girls growing up on the fringes of Quebec’s Chinatown in the 1930s. The saga spans a century, from 1910 to the present, tracing “a long migratory waltz...right up to the gates of the Orient.”

Dance
Buy tickets

In this piece, the choreographer Marcelo Evelin, from the north-east region of Brazil, invites us to set foot inside a metaphorical forest and its ecological condition. Through minimalist dance, and guided by the call of the legendary Uirapuru, a rare and endangered bird, six performers embody the promise of discovering what is and what still eludes our senses.
