“Enter Woven examines the push and pull of the environment we live in,” says choreographer Victor Quijada, founder and artistic director of Montréal’s RUBBERBANDance Group. “It brings into focus the causal effect of our interconnected relationships. In this piece, the atmosphere is palpable; limbs reach out to cut and carve through the ether. Individuals join and compress against each other. Their bodies form architectures. These structures shift, and individuals sift over, under, and through one another. We watch as their stories intertwine, detach, reconnect and transform.”
