Choreography: Paul-André Fortier
Dancers: Paul-André Fortier and Robin Poitras
Music: Alexander MacSween
Lighting design: John Munro
Set design and accessories: Edward Poitras
Costume design: Denis Lavoie
Choreographer's assistant: Ginelle Chagnon
Technical Director: Victor Lamontagne
Premiere: Festival TransAmériques, Montreal, 2014
Commissioning partners: Festival TransAmériques, Canada Dance Festival, National Arts Centre, The Brian Webb Dance Company, and The CanDance Network.
This project pursues the approach taken with Cabane (2008) and Vertiges (2012): a concept falling somewhere between dance, a choreographed installation, and performance art.
Misfit Blues brings together two dancers who, in a number of short sequences, illustrate different aspects of the contemporary couple, taking the audience from laughter to tears, in scenes that are as zany as they are tragic. In vaguely Slavic accents, the two performers converse, tell stories, and entertain the audience in a made-up language while balancing on the tightrope of their performance. Their bold yet playful movements are as surprising as they are impressive.
