Montreal – As part of the 2026 Cinars Biennale in Montreal, Italian dance collective Dewey Dell will present its interpretation of Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring), exploring themes of life, death and rebirth. In the animal and plant worlds, the coexistence of life and death takes on an even more literal meaning. Death is often part of the reproductive process, while life flourishes on decomposing remains. Particularly among insects, seeds and moulds, death is an ever-present force: an invitation to life. The cyclical regeneration of the seasons and the fertility of the earth do not follow a linear path, but rather involve the upheaval of all the elements. Spring is a time of profound disturbance, when the terror of existence merges with the dizzying joy of being alive. The performance will take place today, Friday 13 November, at 9.30 pm and 10.30 pm at Espace Orange, in the Wilder Building. The event is organised by Cinars with the support of Italy’s Ministry of Culture, the ATER Foundation, the Emilia-Romagna Region and the Italian Cultural Institute in Montreal. (9colonne)
