Kidd Pivot: A New Creation

A Kidd Pivot production presented by Canadian Stage

Created by Crystal Pite and Jonathon Young

From the creators of Betroffenheit and Revisor

Canadian Stage is proud to be a co-commissioner of Kidd Pivot’s highly anticipated new work by acclaimed choreographer Crystal Pite and co-creator Jonathon Young. This new creation follows the massive success of Revisor and Betroffenheit, which The Guardian called “the best dance work of the 21st century.”

With a style that is brilliantly orchestrated, highly energetic, and an inventive hybrid of dance and theatre, Pite has been described by The Guardian as “the dance genius who stages the impossible.”

In this newest work, Pite and Young explore our need to congregate and belong. In a gathering place that doubles as community hall and mythic realm, we witness the joys and dangers of devoted like-mindedness and the pain of exile. This breathtaking, moving, and inspiring new work is not to be missed!

One of the world's great choreographers – The Globe and Mail
Pite structures her work with a thrilling intelligence
and choreographs with a detail that makes you
feel passion and unease under your own skin. – The Guardian
