THRESHOLDS
“There are people. Probably. Without a doubt. Yes. People… Looks like it. Anyway, I think so. We watch them through the walls. They act out their lives, their doubts, and their burning desires. All of them, at the edge of something.” (Text by Marie-Louise Bibish Mumbu)
“It could be an ordinary bloc apartment, with lives stacked against each other, but the walls and the stories are disappearing. Some will melt into others, waiting for the coming dawn. It’s about people observing other people. It’s about a moment, frozen in time, and hands touching.”
“Threshold offers a tender look at a complex humanity at the edge of their lives.
The sun is rising
It’s a blue day.” (Text by Marie-Hélène Larose-Truchon)
Thresholds
Show in Creation
A scenic and interdisciplinary work that brings together dance, theatre and skateboard, Threshold expands artistic boundaries. José Babin composes a living, murmuring, and moving fresco created in collaboration with the performers.
Inspired by stories written by Marie-Louise Bibish Mumbu, Julie Vincent, and Marie-Hélène Larose-Truchon, Thresholds explores the turning points, the transitions, the imbalances, both intimate and collective. A suspended moment where bodies and experiences collide.
The research phase of the show was carried out in co-production with Danse K par K.

Le Théâtre Incliné
Compagnie de théâtre visuel, le THÉÂTRE INCLINÉ affectionne les espaces morcelés, où la matière inanimée, les corps, la vidéo et la musique incarnent un « détail » de la toile complète. Chaque nouveau projet prend son impulsion dans les différents territoires qui inspirent les têtes chercheuses de la compagnie, José Babin et Alain Lavallée. L’Incliné crée au contact d’artistes de différentes cultures à travers des coproductions avec la France, l’Italie, le Japon, la Norvège et la Gaspésie.
