Duration 80 min

Canadian choreographer Daina Ashbee’s first group piece began with the exploration of a sensation: the solace we feel in the embrace of our dogs, in howling with our canine companions. Between growling, yelps, tears and calls, female and male bodies cross and pile on all fours, passing through trance-like states of pain and submission. In rejecting colonialist and capitalist models of classification, Ashbee creates a space for the fleeting, the transitory and the exposed.
