Event by W&M Physical Theatre

"Captivated and fascinated are the words that best describe my state after seeing CELLS... scenes full of poetic eloquence which are built from the simplest elements... CELLS is real and very current theatre."

"CELLS reveals the mental capitalism, which we live in today; this cult of goals and strategies.  The artists remind us of this subtly and poignantly... the pictures created by the dancers awake reflections which resonate in our own biographies…"

Krzysztof Gorski, Gazeta Morska, Gdansk, Poland

 Cells introduces the new WM2 Dance Company.  It is a work that was originally created and performed by W&M Physical Theatre with an international cast of performers.  It premiered in Calgary in 2002.

Cele (Polish) translated means 'cells' but can also be translated to mean 'goals'.  The work explores the power of perceived limits, and the possibility that defined goals can become a prison.  It is a work in two parts; Part 2 originally featured Iris Heitzinger, Alanna K. Jones, Wojciech Mochniej, and Johannes Randolf, exploding with powerfully physical themes of ambition, competition, entrapment, alliance, and enmity.  These roles are now shared by the new WM2 Dance Company.

With original sound design by Wojciech Mochniej, set and costume design in collaboration with Conroy Nachitgall, and lighting by Steve Isom, this new company of artists creates a visual world of striking simplicity and depth.

THE BODY IS A SERIES OF SIGNS is a new work created in collaboration with the WM2 dancers.  

Tickets are $25
