Lives pass, overlapping and repeating. In an endless loop, they incarnate as slow and stealthy fragments, as moments and encounters.

In a dreamlike set, where suspended cabins create an atmosphere of a welcoming hamlet, the production suggests an ideal vision of the world, where humans live in strong complicity with nature and its cycles. In this imagined space cohabited by different generations, the choreography is driven by optimism and a joie-de-vivre.

Echos is a living work, full of light and hope.

Press Clippings

« The most luminous passages in Francine Châteauvert’s final piece are those which exude a certain pureness of pleasur, the kind that comes with the fact of simply being together.[…] The 55-minute performance offers many of these grace-filles moments, espically in all the six-dancer chorepgraphies. […]
What you take away is the desire to experience the seasons with childlike joy. […]. »

Steve Bergeron,
La Tribune

« The dancers wonderfully portrayed the four seasons, and it was divine! »
