SEEK - Maya Orchin, New York, United-States, 2014, 2016, World premiere
Originally from Philadelphia, Maya Orchin has a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from George Mason University. She choreographs different pieces presented in established locations, such as the 92nd Street Y and Judson Memorial Church in New York. Maya Orchin returns this year with a powerful choreography, where every individual tries to integrate into the group while simultaneously trying to escape it. A piece that inspires reflection on our own desires and our conceptions of individuality and collectivity.

Absorbed in silence - Victoria May, Montreal, 2015, 2016, World premiere
Victoria May danced at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Gothenburg Ballet and the Danish Dance Theatre, she has worked with Louise Bédard Danse, Système D/Dominique Porte, Thea Patterson, Peter Trosztmer, and Danse-Cité. In this new piece, she questions herself on the limitations of sexual identity and the man/woman characterization. Through duos, she shows us the explosive capacity of the human being to transform and change gender. Inspired by the resemblance between Tilda Swinton and David Bowie, this piece pulls us into an androgynous and hybrid universe.
