SUMMARY:Altération
DESCRIPTION:Kira Arts / Aly Keita\nCo-presented with Live Art Dance\nHow do our lives intertwine? How do we manage to form prosperous balances? What happens when they break down? \nALTÉRATION addresses the transformations that punctuate our lives and our ability\, as human beings\, to influence both our own destiny and that of others. Aly Keita depicts a humanity that oscillates\, on an intimate and societal level\, between stability and uncertainty\, anchoring and uprooting\, change and resistance\, renewal and repetition. The relationship with the other and the complexity of ties lead to the need to hear and rebuild our relationship with ourselves and with our environment. Exploring the meaning of relationships in our society in a wide-ranging way\, both interpersonal relationships and those with other-than-human beings\, this work opens the way to the construction of possible new links that are formed through ecological and spiritual dimensions. Here\, life takes the form of a cycle of transformations. Memories of past experiences and scars – in other words\, alteration – are transmuted into a vital breath through reactivating movements\, both individual and collective\, that revitalize our bodies and rekindle our inner power. \n“Aly Keita’s artistic proposal finds its strength in the originality of its non-temporality\, its immediacy\, its treatment of identity\, which is defined by the idea of encounter\, of encounters\, breaking down the realistic and formal framework linked to a single art form. In this sense\, this multi-arts work is as much a choreographic piece as a circus piece; a musical work as well as a work of visual art in movement.” – Martin Bellemare – Note d’intention \n \nKira Arts\nKira is a word in Sousou\, the language of Guinea\, meaning “path“. It evokes the idea of life as a path we walk\, where we gather and unite. Founded in 2023\, Kira Arts creates stage works that bring together different artistic practices on an equal footing and promote intercultural dialogue between artists. In this way\, we cultivate an inclusive and diverse practice environment based on knowledge sharing and collaboration. Our artistic approach focuses on mediation as a field for research and creation. We select our collaborators based on their affinity with our shared interests and their artistic vision. For us\, it is essential that artists possess a deep understanding of the body\, rhythm and movement. We believe in the uniqueness of each body and the value of each individual\, elements that can mutually enrich a shared creation. We encourage artists’ autonomy\, advocate their freedom of expression and value their authenticity in interpretation. Our approach is not to reproduce exactly what the choreographer experiences; we invite artists to embody the multiple possible interpretations of a single event. \n \n\nWorkshop!\nCome dance with us after the show! Join Aly for his workshop on May 4th: \n>  African Rhythms and Melodies in Action – A Bodily Experience\n\n\n\nCredits\nChoreography: Aly Keita \nComposer: Aly Keita \nMusic: Karine Bouchard & Ricardo Angel Soriano \nSound: Aly Keita \nDancers:\nNicolás Áravena Miller\nRameez Karim\nAly Keita\nEvelyne Laforest\nAnna Protsiou \nProduction Manager: Raffaela Siniscalchi \nTechnical Director & Lighting Designer: Manon Pocq-Saint-Joan \nVisual & Dramaturgical Consultant: Monia Abdallah \nDramaturgical Consultant & Advisor: Martin Bellemare \nOutside Eye: Mistaya Hemingway \nProducers: Kira Arts | Aly Keita \n \nCo-Presented With \n \nWith support from \n \n
