Jötunn

Performer

MAGDance 5 (Regina, 2023)

Co-created by James Viveiros and Nicolas Patry

Jötunn is an allegory inspired by the mythology of the Nordic giants, these humanoid creatures personifying the forces of nature and endowed with divine powers, such as metamorphosis and illusion. The work is revealed in a dilated and suspended temporality, through continuous slides of images and childish games around objects. Mixing contemporary dance and the performative act, the two performers propose a reflection on the relationship we have with others and with time, and on our ability to perceive the unsaid.
