Approaching choreography through a wide variety of movement philosophies, Montreal-based dance duo Tentacle Tribe concocts uncommon dance works with a contemporary approach.
With talent to spare and an abundance of imagination, Emmanuelle Lê Phan and Elon Höglund deploy their tentacles in luminous spheres. They deepen their exploration of perception, illusion and the invisible, searching for what we cannot really grasp, what is hidden from words and the gaze. A quintet of dancers move between a reflective floor and movable mirror panels that they can manipulate from different angles. Kaleidoscopically multiplied tenfold, their bodies seamlessly unite and intermingle, in synergy with Höglund’s music. Prism opens up a myriad of possibilities, distorting perspectives and deconstructing movement into infinite combinations of colourful images. A dreamlike journey with a truly hypnotic effect.
“Their latest production, Prism, is a true work of art. The quintet ofdancers moves between a reflective floor and five movable mirror panels, which they can manipulate from different angles. The result is a kaleidoscopic display of movement that seamlessly unites and intermingles the dancers’ bodies, creating an infinite array of colorful images.” – Gen’s Delight, Mountain Lake PBS
