"Much of Vertical Influences plays with choreography and imagery that rinses viewers of all conventional expectations."
--NPR's All Things Considered
Le Patin Libre challenges expectations about ice shows, combining the attitude of street dance with the athleticism of competitive skating, all while exploring the choreographic possibilities of the human body gliding on ice. The Montreal-based company makes their Connecticut debut with Vertical Influences (2014), a double bill which examines themes of leadership, bullying, individualism, and rivalry with the audience seated on the ice during the second half of the performance, up close as the five skaters perform.
Vertical Influences is approximately 70 minutes with one intermission.
