Each year, Danse Danse supports artists by making rehearsal spaces available, thereby allowing them to deepen several aspects of their creative work. Choreographer Virginie Brunelle, will be in residence at Théâtre Maisonneuve at Place des Arts.
The residency will be used to work on a new creation, FABLES, which will have its world premiere in May 2022 at the Festival Danza Lugano in Switzerland.

Today it echoes the crying need for utopia, hope and humanity.
