In its seventh annual edition the Festival TransAmériques continues its exploration of contemporary dance and theatre.
The festival invites artists and spectators to explore the “intriguing mutations and myriad encounters” of “an age where impurity, cultural and artistic mixing and the free flow of ideas are characteristic of the performing arts”.
The Festival TransAmériques has existed since 2007, but evolved from the Festival de théâtre des Amériques which started in 1985 as a festival of international theatre.
In an editorial on the Festival’s website, director Marie-Hélène Falcon describing a previous edition expresses the soul of the festival: “… these creators extend the limits of their disciplines, seeking out the unknown and defying danger. Their work is influenced and nourished by scientific and technological advances. They pledge their allegiance as much to iconography as to choreography or directing. A sign of the times, imagery dominates this edition. Speech gives way to music, song and movement, the vivid presence of bodies and images.”
