Solitudes Solo leads us - ever so painlessly - to the difficult emotional states of our human condition. In this grouping of spare, elegant dances, performed in silence and to Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, Léveillé highlights five performers who explore what it means to be alone.

The piece marks the beginning of a new cycle of creation made of more fluid gestures and the return of a costume other than nudity - albeit minimal. Solitudes Solo eloquently reaffirms that even with austerity, we can do and say a lot as we seek unity and beauty, knowing such heights can only be reached at the risk of breaking and falling.
