L'affront des chimères is a choreographic fable by Georges-Nicolas Tremblay performed at Agora de la danse in Montreal on December 5, 2026 at 14:00. The work is recommended for teenagers and adults.
Four interpreters embody dark facets of the imagination on stage, channeling anxieties through movement inspired by the codes of suspense and horror cinema. The piece blurs perception and asks whether what unfolds before the audience is an apocalyptic reality or a projection of collective fears.
The work explores themes of survival, solidarity, vulnerability and dark humour. Bodies become spaces of transformation where what haunts us is revealed, displaced and reinvented in an atmosphere that is both gripping and unsettling.
This performance is the second instalment of Tremblay's cinematic dance trilogy, following Fé·e·s sans foi (2024).
