Clara Furey
“Soirées Performances” organized by La Scène nationale d'Orléans at the Orléans Theatre

For the 2022 edition of its Soirées Performances Festival, the Scène nationale d’Orléans will host two evenings dedicated to Canadian choreographer and performer Clara Furey!  

• When Even The – March 3 at 10pm 

For this solo, Canadian artist Clara Furey is inspired by Leonard Cohen’s intriguing poem, When Even The. Halfway between poetry and choreography, she presents a meditative piece offering a unique dialogue between movement, visual arts and sound. The minimalist and intimate atmosphere of this solo encourages a contemplative posture. Between tension and appeasement, nothingness becomes a vector of possibilities, allowing all forms of communication to coexist. 

• Dog Rising – March 4 at 10pm 

Clara Furey explores mystical inner landscapes through dance, in an attempt to find clarity in the darkness. At the heart of her approach are notions of emptiness, immobility, absence and tension. The fruit of her research into tension and immobility, Dog Rising is an explosion of energy, a release of the body in space.
