High priestess of the avant-garde, French Canadian choreographer and performance artist Marie Chouinard unites the sensual and cerebral in her stark, iconoclastic, dazzling and sometimes disturbing works. Her provocative intelligence, unconstrained sexuality, idiosyncratic humor and meticulous construction have resulted in numerous awards and a passionate following. Here the company performs the Carolina Performing Arts co-commissioned Gymnopedies — with dancers playing the intriguing piano works of Erik Satie—and Henri Michaux: Mouvements, featuring texts and arresting projected India-ink drawings from the book Mouvements by Belgian-born poet, writer and painter Henri Michaux, and electro-acoustic music by Canadian composer Louis Dufort.

Please Note: This performance contains nudity, adult situations and is not suitable for children under 18 years of age.
