Event Description

Kudelka/Lemieux Mix 

Led by Artistic Director Laurence Lemieux, Compagnie de la Citadelle is known for its creative processes and intimate performances of classic works and new creations. Through remount initiatives, the Compagnie also dedicates itself to the preservation of important Canadian dance work, making available iconic repertoire to new generations of artists and audiences.

Having created over thirty original works, Lemieux continues to explore the extraordinary range of her choreographic voice with works ranging from intimate solos to large scale ensemble works. James Kudelka, one of Canada’s finest choreographers, served as the company’s resident choreographer from 2008-2020, allowing him to revisit some of his greatest works while making way for challenging new contemporary creations.

Since its foundation in 2000, the Compagnie has toured extensively, travelling to Russia, Scotland’s Edinburgh Festival, and Vimy, France, as well as major U.S. tours to L.A., Louisiana, Portland, the acclaimed Jacob’s Pillow Festival and Battery Dance Festival.

Featured Repertoire:

Toi et Moi (a duet set to country songs from the 50s and 60s sung by Willie Lamothe.) 

Soudain l’Hiver Dernier (1987) was commissioned for the inaugural season of Montréal Danse; a remarkable duet exploring variations on the theme of not failing someone. Lifting or supporting a body always implies some kind of trust, and this choreography by James Kudelka distills this bedrock faith. The work has been performed by the company at venues across Canada and abroad, winning the Bank of Scotland Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2007.

The Man in Black originally commissioned by BalletMet Columbus and given its premiere in April 2010, is one of James Kudelka’s most enduring dances. The work is a celebration of American working-class grit and of the man whose gravelly voice embodied it so movingly, Johnny Cash. The choreography, like the songs that inspire it, is an ode to the human spirit, socially congenial yet proudly independent; vulnerable yet resilient.
