When Louise Lecavalier, icon of Canadian contemporary dance, returns to the stage with her new solo danses vagabondes at the 40th edition of Romaeuropa Festival, she reignites the fire of a bodily language that digs into time and memory. A historic protagonist of La La La Human Steps - founded by Édouard Lock - Lecavalier has, since the 1980s, embodied a fierce and heroic aesthetic, commanding the stage with her acrobatic energy, the legendary barrel jump, and a visual presence often described as “androgynous punk.” Alongside collaborations with David Bowie on the Sound+Vision Tour and with Frank Zappa, the dancer has brought to the world a way of inhabiting the stage that has earned her prestigious international recognition.
danses vagabondes is a plunge into her corporeal memory: gestures once danced intertwine with new impulses in a dialogue between rigor and instinctive energy. The body becomes a living archive, a breath and a pulse that transform the stage into an unstoppable flow. It is dance as a vital act, without mediation, that does not narrate but evokes - an invitation to live each movement, each vibration, with the soul.
