In her first group creation, Cosmic Love, Montreal-based choreographer Clara Furey has developed a work around
intuitive and poetic representations of physical phenomena.

In a minimalist setting, in which all forms of communication become possible, Clara Furey and her performers have
addressed the constant transformation of energy and the ritualization of simple gestures.

By questioning the idea that space is a vacuum, given the energetic bonds and dynamic forces with which it is filled,
Clara Furey has created a work of abstraction, which ultimately reveals the unique radiance of living bodies. Space
vibrates as the seven performers move intently, paving the way for a synchronistic, participation-driven world, where
energy is a shared resource.

To achieve her vision, Clara Furey surrounded herself with long-standing collaborators such as lighting designer
Alexandre Pilon-Guay and musical composer Tomas Furey. The latter, who is also present on stage, delivers an
immersive auditory experience designed to be embraced by all the senses that allows the audience to open new
spaces for introspection and imagination.

As ice becomes water, then steam, the performers experienced a continuous transformative process, united by a
gluey love. As an ocean of questions both challenging and light, a rigorous and tender machine, a core of indestructible
energy. Like recognizing outlines in the sky, one constellation at a time, Cosmic Love revealed itself to be a piece
about empathy and listening to one another.
