An NAC Dance commission

Witness dance in unexpected ways in the NAC public spaces with Virginie Brunelle's brand-new duet

Interlude is a creation in situ that unfolds in a series of eight fragments, each reflecting a unique facet of the complexity and magic of human relationships. Through these fragments, the choreography explores the multiple angles of love, that irresistible call to live and weave deep bonds with each other. Incommunicability, one of our society's contemporary ills, inhabits the protagonists' bodies, revealing awkwardness and relational fears that camouflage their desire for sincere connection. Always anchored in a vital momentum, love in Interlude continues to serve as Virginie's creative beacon, illuminating her artistic universe with raw, emotional sincerity.
