Papillon – We All Fall Down

A performance presented as part of Coro Casse, a vibrant festival celebrating street dance in Québec City from June 19 to 22, 2025.

In Papillon, street dance and contemporary dance challenge each other, gradually merge, and cross-pollinate in a joyous choreographic score, driven by a live, hypnotic jam blending bursts of jazz, hip-hop, and drum’n’bass. Inspired by chaos theory and complex mathematical equations, this immersive wave pulls us into the shifting balance between order and disorder, singularity and similarity, solitude and unity. The performance flows, evolves, and transforms—not only between the three performers and the musicians, but also between dance, music, and the audience—playfully bouncing from one to the other, each time infused with renewed, contagious energy.

A co-presentation by Tentacle Tribe, La Rotonde, and the Grand Théâtre de Québec.
