Nuit Blanche
Follow a pack of insomniacs into a night of broken sleep and waking dreams.
Combining contemporary dance, physical theatre and comedy.
“Shines in visual surprises… a brilliant mix of dance, clown and storytelling…”
Paula Citron, The Globe and Mail
Nuit blanche will take you on a fantastical journey through the bizarre and familiar territory of the sleeping subconscious.
Nominated for the 2002 Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding Choreography and Ensemble Performance.
Rated one of 2002’s best dance shows by The Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star.
The production exists in both stage and site-specific versions.
“Irresistibly ingenious charm. A clever concept developed with an outstanding cast… The standing ovation that ensued was more than deserved.”
