SERIES DANCE 10 #52 presents Takako Segawa

(la version française suit)

November 21,22, 23 2024 / 7 :30pm / ARTS COURT THEATRE / Doors open at 7 pm


Echoes: Vibrations from Japan to Canada is a 60-minute dance piece inspired from the theory that even the smallest flutter of a butterfly's wing ripples around the world to effect global change. The piece takes viewers on a journey through time and space, sharing echoes of Japanese culture that vibrates throughout Canada, and beyond.

The Echoes creation process started in 2020, featuring Takako Segawa as choreographer and solo dancer, co-performing with 3 taiko drummers and 1 soprano vocalist.

SÉRIE DANSE 10 No 52 présente Takako Segawa

21, 22, 23 novembre 2024 / 19h30 / THEATRE DE LA COUR DES ARTS / Ouverture des portes à 19h


Echoes: Vibrations from Japan to Canada est une danse de 60 minutes qui s’inspire de la théorie selon laquelle le plus petit battement d’aile d’un papillon peut provoquer un changement qui a des répercussions à travers le monde. La pièce, qui entraîne le public dans le temps et l’espace, partage les échos de la culture japonaise qui résonnent partout au Canada et ailleurs.

La création d’Echoes a commencé en 2020. Takako Segawa, chorégraphe et danseuse soliste, a alors interprété conjointement la pièce avec trois percussionnistes taiko et une chanteuse soprano.
