Our vision of contemporary Quebec folklore brought to the screen
Using intuition to piece together their clouded memory, a group struggles to rebuild their identity through sheer will. Inspired by shindigs from a forgotten era, Recueil is a toast to the future of our cultural identity, building itself anew as quickly as individuals reinvent themselves.
This choreographic work by Philippe Meunier and Ian Yaworkski, created for film, speaks of a common ground where traditional Quebec folklore interacts with a raw, grounded and fully embodied style of movement. A narrative blended with heightened awareness of the sounds produced by bodies in space.
