Description

Perdre le Nord is an evocative and deeply personal dialogue between live music and object theatre. Inspired by the artists’ experiences of displacement and adaptation, the work explores what it means to lose one’s bearings and search for new points of reference in an unfamiliar world. Through improvisation, sound, movement, and visual imagery, the artists create a poetic reflection on loss, resilience, memory, and belonging. This intimate performance invites audiences into a powerful journey of transformation, connection, and the search for an anchor point beyond words.

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.
