Daniel Léveillé Danse: Amour, Acide et Noix

In this revival of a 21st-century masterpiece, Amour, acide et noix (2001) presents four dancers’ solitude, but also, and most specifically, of the infinite tenderness of touch, the harshness of life, and the desire for avoidance or escape from these bodies, often so heavy. Offering nudity as frank and free of false modesty, the skin is the body’s one true costume.

Legendary Canadian choreographer and dance teacher Daniel Léveillé holds a place of high regard on the national and international scenes of contemporary dance. In fifty years of practice, he has contributed to the development of choreographic art by creating a corpus of major works performed by exceptional dancers. Trained with the Groupe Nouvelle Aire, he first worked as an independent choreographer before founding Daniel Léveillé Danse (now DLD) in 1991. Developing a choreographic style made up of repetition and short phrasing, his choreographic scores push the limits of the impossible, revealing the beauty of being in all its imperfections and erring in favor of nudity as the only conceivable costume.
