Description

Collapse is a raw and urgent multidisciplinary performance that delves into resistance, oppression, and survival cycles. Through an evocative blend of contemporary dance, spoken words, and multimedia, the performers move through landscapes of tension, chaos, and resilience, channelling personal and collective histories of struggle.

Ines Chiha is an emerging choreographer based in Montreal, supported by Circuit-Est and Danse à la Carte residencies.

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.
