An iconic figure in Canadian contemporary dance and collaborator with David Bowie for several years, Louise Lecavalier lands at the Romaeuropa Festival, presenting her new solo work at the Teatro Vascello: a journey through movement and memory, where the body becomes a living archive of past experiences and emotions.
Born in Montreal, Louise Lecavalier has been a professional dancer since 1977. In 1981, she joined La La La Human Steps, collaborating on all of the company’s productions until 1999 and enchanting international audiences with her intense and generous dancing. In addition to David Bowie, she has collaborated with artists such as Frank Zappa and Carole Laure, participating in multidisciplinary projects and Kathryn Bigelow’s film Strange Days. In 2012, she began creating her own choreographies.
In Danses Vagabondes, Lecavalier weaves already-danced gestures with new impulses, creating an ongoing dialogue between instinct and precision, freedom and discipline, traversing the stage like an unstoppable force. The dance breathes, transforms, and ignites, embodying the deep necessity to dance as a vital, boundless act. Each movement becomes an exploration, a search that pushes beyond known boundaries toward the unknown, telling stories that need no words—only to be lived.
