WOULD

Drawing its inspiration from all possible futures, WOULD is a meditation on potentiality, possibility, utopia, and our obsession with projecting ourselves into the future. Imagining the best, fearing the worst. And adapting as best we can to the present. Fuelled by the energy of two powerful dancers, WOULD is a reflection on the failures, stumbles, and screw-ups we will inevitably experience as we go down the path of life. Marc Boivin and Kate Holden meet in confrontation like two wild beasts warily approaching each other.
