Les Angles Morts questions our ability to understand the world from another point of view than where we usually stand and observes from every angle, even the blind spots, the small details that make us all the same and perfectly distinct.

After a residency in Belgium, a passage at Maguy Marin’s Centre Chorégraphique National de Rillieux-la-Pape and a series of shows at The Dance Round Table Festival in Tokyo, the young choreographer premiered Les Angles Morts in Montreal in April 2007.
The piece created in an international context brings together Mélanie Demers, dancer and composer Jacques Poulin-Denis, South African choreographer Boyzie Cekwana, working here as an artistic advisor and light designer David Perreault Ninacs.

Quote:
Mélanie Demers does not waste a single second in submerging us in her world… It is very difficult to qualify or even quantify Les Angles Morts because it works at such an experiential level that discussing it inevitably feels futile. The only way to truly appreciate it is to experience it. It will move you to action, and even maybe to creation.
