Synopsis
Somber Tides is a cry from the species, startled into survival against the elements; one last breath before being trampled by the Earth or maybe conversely a battle to wage against winds and tides clutching on before extinction.
A word from Tënk
A prominent figure in contemporary dance and a bold pioneer of videodance, Chantal Caron delivers with Somber Tides a striking and visceral work.
Set against powerful environmental messages, the performers give grand, fully embodied performances within a wild and dramatically fragile environment. This is a work of striking universality, selected by numerous festivals, provoking a necessary and deeply moving reflection on our vital and threatened connection with nature.
