Pre-Performance Dance Talk at 6:45 p.m.
A baroque-tinged epic, On the verge of collapse rises as a bulwark against dehumanization.

The choreography, both imperious and vibrant, plunges us into the chaos of a world in tension, confronting alienation with the strength of union, love, and complicity. Between fulgurance and exaltation, the work elevates physical exertion into a living language — at once an act of resistance and a vital release.

Carried by five performers embodying a powerful collective force, every breath and every muscular tremor traces a profoundly human and sensitive fabric. Supported by Laurier Rajotte’s ingenious composition, the work resounds as a liberating cry, an invitation to live fully and to stand together in solidarity.
