The Cultch | Vancouver East Cultural Centre
2010-2011: Vancouver's most intimate venue. Contemporary theatre, dance and music

“This is a picture of you, falling. Knees, hip, hands, elbows, head. This is how you collapse. This is the sound of your heart hitting the floor.”

The You Show, featuring nine dancers and original music by Owen Belton, is an evening of four new works created by Crystal Pite: A Picture of You Falling, The Other You, Das Glashaus and A Picture of You Flying.

"The four works presented this evening come out of my fascination with familiar storylines of love, conflict and loss, and the body’s role in providing the illustrative shape of those stories. The body can convey profound meaning through the simplest of gestures, and the analysis of familiar human action provides an opportunity to recognize and re-frame ourselves in each other. I want the performance to connect with you and your own body. I invite you to locate yourself in the dancer, to recognize your own dramas translated into fierce physical language, and to see yourself falling and flying as the hero of your own existence. Life, whether you are superhuman or simply human, is epic." - Crystal Pite
