Fortier Danse-Création (Canada) | Tensions
'Harsh light plays on a dark forest of men. The encounter is unlikely: one, wearing the marks of age, and the other, resplendent, youthful, naïve. Which one walks in the other's footsteps? Who taints whom? Who keeps watch, and who disturbs? Which one comforts and soothes? Gives, receives? What they share is the fear of wolves, a fear of everything. Fear of what lies outside, perhaps hostile. Fear, above all, of themselves: it's every man for himself. 'They are supremely vulnerable and infinitely powerful, in equal measure. They are men, nothing more. Men who dance.' Aline Gélinas '
An artist with a high level of social consciousness. He has never feared crossing swords with taboos, taking a critical look at himself and society' Isabelle Poulin - Le Devoir
'Robert Meilleur is extraordinary, demonstrating the nearly candid buoyancy and impetuousness of his youth. Fortier, on the other hand, expresses the essence of experience and power, leaving us speechless' Aline Apostolska - La Presse
