Côté Danse’s X (Dix).

DanceHouse presents the Vancouver premiere of Côté Danse’s virtuosic X (Dix) on March 22 and 23 at 8 pm at the Vancouver Playhouse.

Choreographed by Guillaume Côté, artistic director of Côté Danse and principal dancer with the National Ballet of Canada, the striking work is a potent exploration of home as a grounding force.

Inspired by the mythical Odysseus, X (Dix) makes remarkable use of the foundational materials of storytelling, employing archetypal ideas—from the hero’s journey to the role of home—to create new narratives of life’s trajectory and the elemental forces of leaving and returning.

Côté’s choreography strips back the art form to its most compelling basics, featuring sleek lines and refined athleticism. X (Dix) is performed by five dancers on a minimalist stage setting, accompanied by the surging and sculptural sounds of American experimental band Son Lux.

Tickets to the performance and more details are available at DanceHouse.
