Acclaimed Toronto choreographer & dancer premieres thought-provoking full-length solo on decay, rebirth and celebrity.
In his first solo dance show, The art of degeneration (DanceWorks), Louis Laberge-Côté offers up meditations on decay, immorality, and self-destruction. His endearing, mischievous sense of humour transforms The Citadel: Ross Centre for Dance into a lushly-coloured romp through history, both personal and public. With moves that find the hidden grace in things falling apart, being vulnerable with your demons is the only way to survive.

A new play in Torontoraises tempers, a lot of questions, and the bar on audience participation
Full disclosure: I heard about THE ASSEMBLY: EPISODE 1 (on stage at The Streetcar Crowsnest) from my friend Shayne, a participant in the project around which tonight’s production was created. When I read this description “…a thrilling theatrical response to the rise of extremism and tribalism in political discourse today. This documentary play invites the left and the right to face each other in a live setting and to attempt to transcend their ideological labels through listening”, I knew I had to see it.
I’m glad I did. While indeed thrilling, I also found in THE ASSEMBLY: EPISODE 1 a funny, thought-provoking event that blended strong opinions, humour, and emotions with imagination and tactility.
How can you go wrong with numbers like “All I Need is Disco,” “Glitter Boots Saved My Life” and “Fetish Number Out of Nowhere.” The musical is campy and full of glitz and glamour as the cast interacts with the audience as if they are patrons of the futuristic club – Saucy Jacks. Meanwhile, the sexy and robust Space Vixens arrive from another planet to investigate a serial killer, which cast members continually fall victim too.
