About
LA PREMIERE
“Chouinard's ability to vivify the weirdness of Renaissance depictions of bodies and sex is just remarkable.” – The Globe and Mail
The internationally-renowned and startlingly-original choreographer Marie Chouinard creates a living canvas from one of the most famous paintings of all time. This surreal dance vision squarely confronts the before, during and after of original sin, brimming with visual wit, wonderment and chaos.
Contains nudity throughout. Not recommended for children.
