Krystina Dejean

Chorégraphe, Interprète, Travailleur.se culturel.le

Krystina Dejean, also known as Mystique, is a dancer who specializes in street and club dance styles, most notably in waacking, hustle and hip-hop. Viewing herself as a storyteller, it is mainly through improvisation that she likes to escape and bring the audience with her into the worlds she creates. Furthermore, through her movement, she highlights her vulnerability and spontaneity and invites the audience to do the same. 

 

She has performed with the company Asymmetry (2019-2022), directed by Axelle Munezero. She is currently working on the development of her choreographic method, greatly influenced by a search for empathy. She presented her first piece, Conjugating Crisis and Empathy, at Tangente during the 100lux festival in March 2022. She continues to nurture her work as a performer touching on the art forms of theater and film. She is part of the cast of Sportriarcat, a feminist and multidisciplinary play by Claire Renaud that will be presented at the Espace Libre theater in March 2023.

At the same time, she remains involved in the street dance community by creating projects and events that bring together and engage the Tiohtià:ke / Montreal street dance community and by participating in local and international battles.
