Parallel Worlds

Year of creation

2023

Two Women,unaware of the new territory on which they have just set foot. Only ghostly traces of a distant past emerge. Parallel Worlds highlights two reincarnated children, trying to bridge the gap between this new mirror universe and their previous lives, evoked in flashes and scattered snatches. These nostalgic impulses rise to the surface, swelling to encompass them whole, only to fade away. With ardor and mystery, this creation is a world in itself, with its own dimensions of space and time, to be defined entirely.

*A project initiated by Sarah Williams

“One is airy, light, diaphanous, present, hyper-precise. That's Louise Bédard. The other is earthy, leonine, biting, present, super-precise. She's Sarah Williams. The two come together for the first time on stage, in a choreography by Catherine Gaudet that seeks to summon, if only for a second, all these lives, faces, masks, personas lurking in a single body.”
