From July 28 to August 17, 2024, LA COMPAGNIE MARIE CHOUINARD toured the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie coast with a brand new dance performance, outdoors and free, featuring live music.

« La vie passe, rapide caravane ! Arrête ta monture et cherche à être heureux. »

-  Omar Kayyham, poète persan du 11e siècle

10 dancers, a composer-musician, and a master of ceremonies offered an outdoor experience in public spaces, immersing the public in the fundamentals of dance, the presence of the body, and the creation process.

The COMPAGNIE MARIE CHOUINARD presented events composed of some new works, moments of pure dance that make sense and reveal dance in a new light, and performances, sometimes participatory, to uplift the heart, create the joy of rediscovering the body, and provide the well-being of a reunited community.

An enchanting experience filled with benevolence and comfort.

LA COMPAGNIE MARIE CHOUINARD EN CARAVANE occasionally expanded its troupe to welcome a local performer from the visited community.
