Momentum Dance Toronto (MDT) is proud to present

metamorphosis

"The art of living is based on rhythm - on give & take, ebb & flow, light & dark, life & death. By acceptance of all aspects of life, good & bad, right & wrong, yours & mine, the static, defensive life, which is what most people are cursed with, is converted into a dance, 'the dance of life,' metamorphosis."

- Henry Miller
 

In our twelfth season, we reflect on the many changes we have observed in the world since our first show in 2011. Our inaugural show, Temporada, explored the four seasons as a means to depict the seasons of life. Today, our choreographers present to the stage an exploration of physical transformation, such as the evolution of a caterpillar into a butterfly or the aging process of a human being.

 

Through dynamic movements, they can convey the essence of change, from subtle shifts to dramatic motions. Choreographers may also delve into the realm of emotional or spiritual growth, portraying inner transformations and personal journeys, incorporating elements of symbolism, abstraction, and narrative.

 

Metamorphosis is a rich tapestry of movement, inviting the audience to reflect on their own experiences of change and growth. Metamorphosis will transport the audience through a kaleidoscope of movements and emotions, witnessing the beauty and complexity of metamorphosis expressed through the universal language of dance.
