Our furious hopes. At La Chapelle Contemporary Scenes"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>This multidisciplinary show, combining theater, dance and circus, explores the following question: How can we cultivate hope in a world that is collapsing? Six performers on stage strive to find the answer, composing a sensitive collage which reflects our own dizziness in the face of our times. A sensory stage experience that transforms collective paralysis into creative energy. Faced with the state of the current world, where our lucidity easily transforms into fatigue and our compassion into helplessness, the creator Alex Trahan invites us to take part in his reflection: how can we create works that do not flee reality, but which make us want to take part in it?<\/p>\n<p>Getting out of the doldrums means rekindling the fire: transforming despair into momentum, anger into action. Art therefore becomes an act of radical and lucid hope, a gesture which reminds us that beauty, solidarity and imagination are still forms of resistance; such are our furious hopes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to presenting Our Furious Hopes, La Fratrie invites spectators to a series of activities celebrating the richness of their artistic community and promoting exchanges between artists and the public. An opportunity to come together to exchange, discover and better dream of the future. This program will help give a festive and inspiring boost to the launch of the La Chapelle Sc\u00e8nes Contemporaines season.<\/p><div id=\"linit-3632048009\" class=\"linit-dans-le-contenu linit-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8992136571741975\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px;\" \ndata-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8992136571741975\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6185130430\"><\/ins> \n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"_ytid_60712\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IclFV7QkAEs?enablejsapi=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;cc_load_policy=0&amp;cc_lang_pref=&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;loop=0&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autohide=2&amp;theme=dark&amp;color=red&amp;controls=1&amp;disablekb=0&amp;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-is-override no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\" allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\" name=\"_ytid_60712\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Text and direction Alex TrahanPerformers Yuma Arias, Chlo\u00e9 Barshee, Stacey D\u00e9silier, Manon Lussier, Patrick R.

It was in 2013 that he created NO US, a dystopian piece echoing the maple spring, presented in Montreal and France. In 2016, he co-founded La Fratrie, with which he created multidisciplinary shows, including The stars will fall at the Montr\u00e9al Compl\u00e8tement Cirque festival and De mille feu for Cirque \u00c9loize in 2021. In the summer of 2022, he co-signed with Maxim Laurin the staging of Le G\u00e9ant de Machine de Cirque for Compl\u00e8tement Cirque. In 2023, he created La nuit, les ombres at the National Circus School of Montreal and Rom\u00e9o et Juliette with graduates of the Saint-Hyacinthe theater school, in collaboration with Lucie Vigneault. The year 2026 promises to be fruitful with his new creation Our hopes furious at La Chapelle Sc\u00e8nes Contemporaines and Macbeth with the graduates of the National Circus School of Montreal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"linit-3982468805\" class=\"linit-apres-contenu linit-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8992136571741975\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px;\" \ndata-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8992136571741975\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6185130430\"><\/ins> \n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This multidisciplinary show, combining theater, dance and circus, explores the following question: How can we cultivate hope in a world that is collapsing?
