About:Hymn to the Universe, playing at
Place des Arts' Cinquième Salle
from December 1 to 11, 2010, is a unique celebration featuring the
performance of orchestral pieces by Marshall Allen's legendary big band
The Sun Ra Arkestra and a psychedelic dance performance by Bill Coleman and Laurence Lemieux's
Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie.
Hymn to the Universe
is a show-cum-happening that transports audiences to a place that dance
(with ten dancers) has never been before, with extraordinary visual
creations and live music (fifteen musicians) that are as intriguing as
they are bewitching.
Hymn to the Universe features
choreography by Bill Coleman, music by Sun Ra Arkestra and dancers
Margie Gillis, Laurence Lemieux and Carol Prieur, recently named dancer
of the year by Tanz Magazine.
