15 X AT NIGHT is a 30-minute site-specific solo created by one of Canada’s best choreographers, Paul-André Fortier, for the dancer Simon Courchel, performed outside at night every day for 15 days. The sites selected for the performance are atypical, integrated into the city and its nighttime activities, to offer a different type of contact with dance, audiences and the city itself. At night, cityscapes take on a distinctive, yet mysterious charm. It is this mystery that this work is attempting to explore by bringing dance to a less familiar environment. Bodies that shiver in the cool, silent night air; darkness that alters our perceptions. This unique outdoor performance follows in the footsteps of Paul-André Fortier’s popular Dancing on the Edge show Solo 30 x 30 (2009).
