Efer
Ode | Journey | Ritual | Loss
Efer means ashes in Hebrew and is a symbol of both finitude and renewal. Through striking physical dance, Emily Gualtieri and David Albert-Toth stage a piece that addresses the themes of loss, loneliness, community and the transformative power of grief. A major creation by this rising Montreal duo, the piece is supported with sound compositions by Antoine Berthiaume, with lighting and the imposing scenography suspended from the ceiling by Paul Chambers. On stage, 7 completely committed performers engage the in-between, a space that is neither here nor there, between never more and not yet.
