Order and chaos. Evolution and dissolution. Hope and crisis. Humanity stands on the cusp between creation and destruction. Two omnipresent forces push us towards greater freedom, evolution, and self-actualization, even as we face ever-growing threats to our environment and our existence. Yet from tumultuous moments of upheaval, the conditions for regeneration are formed. On the shores of Lake Ontario, under the rays of the setting sun, Creation Destruction brings together video installations by United Visual Artists, hypnotic chamber rock with members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and 11 of Canada’s most distinguished dancers, as they trace a choreographic map that is both fractal and whole, exploring humanity’s capacity to adapt, innovate, and survive. Created by Animals of Distinction, the Montreal-based multimedia dance company of renowned choreographer and dancer Dana Gingras, London-based United Visual Artists, and Thierry Amar, Timothy Herzog, Efrim Menuck, and Sophie Trudeau of post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
