DAVE ST-PIERRE

Like fellow Québécois choreographers Marie Chouinard and Édouard Lock, this generation’s enfant terrible approaches the themes of sexuality and gender head-on with a boundless energy that can fill a large stage. St-Pierre brings Un peu de tendresse, bordel de merde! - part of his infamous triptych on love, life and death - to the Place des Arts stage for a special performance at this year's Flexx.

DANIEL LÉVEILLÉ DANSE

With a singular standing in Canadian dance as both a choreographer and a teacher, Daniel Léveillé's work is kept to an expressive minimalism with raw and potent beauty. For Flexx he presents his award-winning Amour, Acide et Noix, a modern piece for one female and three male dancers that explores solitude and an irrepressible desire for contact through movement that is energetic and sometimes abrupt.
