Alejandro Sajgalik
Chorégraphe, Compositeur.rice
Alejandro Sajgalik is a director, choreographer, and composer. He creates worlds where the body confronts our contemporary metaphysical uprooting and the seductive force of technology. Trained in architecture, he developed a hybrid approach blending dance, electroacoustic music, set design, and narratives inspired by mysticism.
In Montréal, he first presented three solo works: N’importe où hors du monde (2018), Cantos para los insaciables (2019), and Materia Prima (2022). In 2024, he creates Nova Express, a futuristic odyssey where six performers navigate the emergence of a new world aboard a raft made from the wreckage of a dismantled organ. He was selected for the Québec/Bassano choreographic exchange program (Italy) and received an award for his sonata Novae I at the Jeu de temps / Times Play JTTP competition (CEC). His work is supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, the CALQ, and the Conseil des arts de Montréal.
