Rapaillé
Extract of "Spring"
Inspired by Gaston Miron's poems
Fusing the percussive vocabulary of Québec's step-dancing to fluid contemporary movements, Rapaillé is a multidimensional work exploring a wide range of emotions. A work that is at once powerful and tinged with urban poetry, performed by the ensemble of five dancers and two musicians.
With an acute sense of rhythm and synchronicity, the experienced artists of [ZØGMA] offer an enthralling evening that redefines the limits of percussive dance.

Co-artistic director, choreographer and performer since 2001
Choreographer and performer, Frédérique-Annie Robitaille has worked with enthusiasm since 2001 at the company [ZØGMA]as co-founder.
Passionate about dancing since her early childhood, she pursued dance studies at Collège Montmorency and then at UQAM (Quebec), where she obtained a bachelor's degree in contemporary dance performance.
She has made an important contribution to the development of a unique gesture identity within the company that meshes the power of jig with the fluidity of the contemporary movement.

The Ballets Russes paved the way for what would become known as: neo-classical. Back then, the term “modern ballet” was frequently used to define this renewal of aesthetics: a savvy blend of tradition and innovation, which each choreographer defined in their own way.
