MOSAÏCO transcends the boundaries of contemporary dance by exploring the multiplicity of cultural identities through the bold fusion of dance and digital art. On stage, five dancers from diverse backgrounds come together to support this theme with authenticity, expressing themselves through a mixed and rhythmic gestural language that takes the audience through the various facets of identity construction.

What influences our identity construction, from our family to our life experiences and even our territory, and in what ways? This ensemble of dancers includes Aly Keita, with expertise in circus and Guinean dance, as well as Andrea Niño Sarmiento, specializing in Afro-Colombian and contemporary dance. The team also includes Aymen Benkreira, a versatile dancer excelling in urban dance and tap, and Emmanuelle Martin, known for her gestural blend of ballet, urban dance, and Indian dance. Joined on stage by choreographer Audrey Gaussiran, expressing herself through a mixed flamenco style, they form a vibrant and colorful mosaic reflecting the diversity of their cultural origins and dances.

Furthermore, the origins and ancestors as part of the identity reflection are staged by the virtual presence of two other dancers: Lina Moros, a pioneer of flamenco in Montreal, and Louis Roy, a proud carrier of the Quebecois tap tradition. They appear on video and transform through digital manipulation, much like our memories inevitably undergo alterations.

At the heart of the performance, the graceful and passionate movements of the dancers exert a powerful influence on a reactive digital projection in the background, creating a textured mosaic that comes to life with their gestures, symbolizing the complexity of ever-evolving identities.

The emotion is elevated by poetic texts that punctuate this captivating exploration, immersing the audience in the depths of the exploration of identity. The entire creative process is enriched by this introspection, offering the audience an intimate connection with the work.

MOSAÏCO thus embraces cultural diversity and the union of different artistic disciplines and aesthetics. It is an experience where dance and digital art come together to awaken the collective consciousness to the individual multiplicity that forms our collective richness.
