Dear Patrons, SURPRISING | CAPTIVATING | GRATEFUL

These words speak to what sets TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND apart, and to the state we find ourselves in as we emerge from the Covid Fog. They speak to who we are and how we enter our new season.

Dance is such a distinct art form. Luminous, arduous, meaningful and inspiring. Time and time again, “I’m overwhelmed, this was not what I expected,” are the reactions I hear from first-time audiences, something our longtime subscribers have always known. Reaching our 40th anniversary affords TITAS the unique perspective of looking back and exploring the impact high quality, curatorial arts presentation has on a city and on a community. For 40 years, TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND has presented the most innovative, the most remarkable artists touring the world today. We look forward to another 40 years of innovation.

The 2022:23 season won’t disappoint. Bold, beguiling and breathtaking imagery makes this a very special set of internationally touring companies. We proudly present a season of ten extraordinary companies from the United States, Canada and South Africa. Five of these companies are making their debuts with TITAS.

Thank you for being a part of another year of breathtaking performances, and thank you for actively engaging in the arts and for being a part of the TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND and AT&T Performing Arts Center family.

All that remains of communities and civilizations, all that remains of their worth and dignity exists in the art they leave.

William Carlos Williams

Sincerely,

Charles Santos, Executive Director/Artistic Director TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND

ALAN LAKE FACTORI[E] LE CRI DES MÉDUSES THE RAFT OF THE MEDUSA

(2018) (Contains Nudity)

Length: 65 min, No Intermission

United States Debut

Bold, outrageous, and shocking, Alan Lake has created a work poised between fable and allegory. This polymorphic work—enriched with visual art —reinforces Lake’s status as a significant Canadian artist. Inspired by Théodore Géricault’s painting, The Raft of the Medusa, the choreographer proposes a vision of a humanity adrift. Le cri des méduses promises a startling, artistic shock.

The show is an immersion in a complex tableau vivant, a post-apocalyptic universe where human beings struggle and unite. Carts of bodies tangled in improbable heaps follow uprisings where the ground slips away. Combining a fiery language and a mastery of group work, Alan Lake navigates between suggestion and reality without being able to distinguish their limits and contours.

ABOUT

ALAN LAKE

Alan Lake is a choreographer, performer, director and visual artist. He studied visual arts for five years (DEC and BAC in visual arts). He undertook and obtained his technical DEC in Dance-Interpretation in 2007 at the École de danse de Québec. Since then, it is with the accumulation of experience and a multidisciplinary practice that he now approaches the gesture, devoting his daily life to dance.

The objective of his work is to bring these disciplines together in a common place at the service of the movement. He founded Alan Lake Factori[e] in 2007, a multidisciplinary contemporary dance company based in Quebec where he developed his artistic approach at the crossroads of dance, cinema and visual arts. In 2018, Alan Lake joined the “Associated Artist” program of the Center de Création O Vertigo - CCOV (Montreal) and he is also an associate artist of the Rotonde (Quebec City). He presents his work as a choreographer in Québec, Canada, Belgium, Mexico, USA.

THE COMPANY

Created in 2007 and based in Québec, Alan Lake Factori[e] is a multidisciplinary contemporary dance company created and supported by choreographer and director Alan Lake. A company defined by a unique language giving rise to raw and symbolist universes in which humans, totally impregnated by their environment, evolve.

Alan Lake Factori[e] is entirely dedicated to the creation and dissemination of choreographic works, installations and dance films that stage this interconnection between the body in motion, the space it occupies, and the cycle of life and death that underlies them.

It is also dedicated to promoting contemporary dance and choreographic research through shows, workshops, internships, conferences and other related activities. Deeply involved in the dance community in Quebec, the company carries out large-scale projects that contribute to the effervescence of this art in the national capital, in the province of Québec, in Canada and abroad. The company already has several stage and film productions to its credit. All hailed by critics and the public, his works enjoy an ever-increasing distribution.
