BY TRAIN Designed during Edmonton's centennial in 2004 and Alberta's centennial in 2005 to tell one facet of Alberta's French-speaking history, Zéphyr's first production, Par train / By train, was enhanced by the work accomplished by the performers. Far more than a historical re-enactment, Par train / By train is meant to be a reflection on the identity of Western Canada's French-speaking youth, who often come from exogamous marriages. Traditional yet contemporary, this production draws on French-Canadian traditional dance, rythmics, and high performance step-dance for its repertory but also on dance from other cultures that have made this country. |
