MOSAÏCO combines dance and digital art to explore the richness of identity in its plurality. What legacies are passed down to us from our family origins and the territories that have shaped us? This choreographic creation offers a profound meditation on the construction of identity, woven both through movement and visuals.

Flamenco, Québécois step dance, African, Latin, and urban dances come together to honor the diverse roots that nourish our mixed society. On stage, five dancers, with various cultural backgrounds, embody this theme through a rhythmic and eclectic vocabulary. Their movements influence a reactive digital projection in the background: a textured mosaic comes to life, transforming and decomposing according to the performers’ motion. Poetic texts punctuate the piece, inviting the audience to delve into this introspection that fueled the creative process.

MOSAÏCO thus asserts itself as a work embracing cultural diversity, uniting different artistic disciplines and aesthetics.

About the Artist

Fascinated by a variety of dance styles, Audrey Gaussiran trained from a young age with masters in Brazil, Cuba, New York, and Spain. She completed her studies at the Conservatoire de danse de Montréal in 2007, integrating classical ballet into her eclectic training, shaping her art with a decidedly cosmopolitan approach.

As an independent choreographer, Audrey expresses her social concerns through works such as Le 2e sexe (2014) and Corrida (2017). Her artistic exploration also materialized through the creation of Portraits dansés (2015 to 2017), a series of seven short films that earned her a nomination for the CALQ’s Work of the Year in 2019.

Her creative repertoire expanded with pieces such as CTRL:N(2019), Fisheye (2020), and MOSAÏCO (2024), where her hybrid movements intertwine harmoniously with digital innovation. Her choreographic journey earned her a nomination for Emerging Artist of the Year in Laval in 2024. Audrey Gaussiran thus embodies a modern artistic vision, rooted in the cultural and technological diversity of our time.
