About Innervision
Innervision is a monumental, uncluttered performance that explores notions of interiority and exteriority, and questions the - often invisible - links between human beings, nature, and the origins of the world.
A living sculpture takes shape with 60 dancers, each facing an amplified light table, and guided live by Martin Messier. At the heart of this human wave that passes through and encompasses the audience, each performer follows the artist's instructions, as if carried by an inner voice, oscillating between obedience and free will. Dressed in black, the performers merge into a pulsating collective body, swelling, shrinking, advancing or collapsing, embodying the power and malleability of the social body.
