In the wake of disarray, grief and the downward spiral comes rallying cries. Following on from Bless This Mess, the choreographers Katerina Andreou and Mélissa Guex cement their reunion in a duo that is very nearly a concert. In as close proximity to the audience as possible, their infectious energy metamorphoses anger into collective joy.

Past masters in the art of collage and multi-disciplinary montage, The Wooster Group, co-founded and directed by Elizabeth LeCompte, has been a regular guest at the Festival d’Automne since 1999. Always at the forefront of scenographic techincal innovation, the American director is a major figure of the avant-garde, notably with her re-readings of classic texts. 

Get Your Ass in the Water and Swim Like Me, by The Wooster Group, with Eric Berryman, directed by Kate Valk, is a celebration of the Black-American tradition of toasts.
