Compagnie Virginie Brunelle
Compagnie Virginie Brunelle is a choreographic creation company that has worked under the artistic direction and general management of choreographer Virginie Brunelle since it was founded in 2009.
The company repertoire includes some 10 contemporary dance works, which have been presented in more than 50 cities across Quebec and the world.
Brunelle draws her creative inspiration from music to generate distinctive stage imagery. These images are then transposed onto the work like musical scores. It’s here that her focus shifts to highly detailed work, combining rhythms, suspensions, ferocity, delicacy, gazes, breathing, and brutality to bring out the evocative power of movement. Behind this formal research process lies a poetics of vulnerability that gives rise to poignant and visually stunning stage experiences.
A clear-eyed witness of our time and its challenges, Virginie Brunelle takes a piercing look at a planet in hypertension. Her compelling choreography is a vibrant battle for love and solidarity.
