In summer 2022, Rhodnie Désir anchors herself in the heart of the Bas-Saint-Laurent to create links between the land, the people and her body. From conversation to conversation, she collects the result of the interviews to deliver a unique work of memory: TÈ BIC.
Farmers, artists, entrepreneurs, artisans, patrimony specialists... the choreographer documents the meaning of this land. The first of a long series of works focused on the environment, Rhodnie collaborates here with an artist with the minimalist signature: Tom Jacques. Their approaches are similar in the simplicity of the gesture, both musical and danced. Rhodnie Désir's approach evolves between the writing of several bodies: composition, improvisation, interpretation and scenography. Their collaboration allows the transformation of the collected testimonies into a work of memory relating the perceptible movements of the territory.

“What is gained here, in this Symphony of Hearts, is an art of influences and benevolence carried by the multiple identities of bodies and minds that want peace.” - JEU magazine (Canada)
