Frontera
Quebec, 2019
UVA have created the visual concept and scenography for Frontera, a new show choreographed by Dana Gingras, with dramaturgy by Ruth Little and live score by Montreal band Fly Pan Am.
The show addresses the aggressive nationalism and corporate mass surveillance of current times, drawing from the idea of physical and psychological borders as instruments of power and control. The scenography creates immaterial and shifting structures that transform the stage and the relationship between dancers, who navigate spaces of inclusion and exclusion.
Frontera premiered at Grand Théâtre de Québec in November 2019 before going on tour to Montreal, Ottawa, Sidney and Berlin.
