Press

“Captivating - powerfully frightening. It’s not often that a dance lives up to its ambitious program notes (“CYP17” is “the freak show of the future”), but Mr. Gingras has created a bizarre, funny, often disturbing piece that does just that, and he does it mostly through movement. Here is a world that couldn’t be evoked by anything other than the physical detail of Mr. Flak’s extraordinary dancing.”

Roslyn Sulcas, New York Times

Description

Always created with relevance to the audience in mind, André Gingras’ work provides intelligent commentary on issues pervading our worldwide conscience – cultural identity, gene manipulation, the plight of refugees – presented in a thematically layered environment of arresting visual imagery, sardonic humor, and impeccable choreography.

André Gingras Biography

André Gingras began choreographing in Holland in 1999. After an extensive career in dance and theater, his desire to explore a highly physical and visual personal language began to manifest itself. His movement research finds its inspiration in the martial arts, in breakdance, in the physical symptoms related to specific medical conditions and in post-modern dance and theater.
