“…quite clearly sixty minutes of ecstasy for the performers onstage and for the audience privy to the work.”– Geraldine Anderson, The Medium Online
Performed naked and in silence, the logistical and emotional complexities inherent in an adult triad are the central themes of Heaven. Through the dancers’ detailed, muscular and deeply fulfilled performances, Heaven is an exposition of the human being in virtuosic action.
60 minute trio
Premiered in Toronto, 2006 with other performances in Montreal, Ottawa, Regina, Calgary, Winnipeg and Santo Domingo, The Dominican Republic.
