Quebec born, Berlin-based choreographer, Luc Dunberry, has been invited by Pierre Paul Savoie Danse to participate in the project Diasporama, in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut.
Diasporama is an amalgam of the words “diaspora” and “diaporama” and consists of a series of works created by Quebec artists living abroad. The works, coming from five countries, have a common origin and common roots: the province of Québec. They evoke the idea of moving, home and heritage.

Mi-un ni d’eux
Should you follow your head or your heart? This choreographic work explores the interior dialogue between our rational and emotional, our cerebral and instinctive self, between what we acquire and what is innate. Tests of strength. Power shifts. A search for balance in constant mutation. In a visual environment evoking the denaturalization of the human being and the artificiality of his condition, thinking beasts moved by the instinct to survive confront the search for harmony.
