CANADIAN PREMIERE
Performed by one of the UK’s most innovative dance/physical theatre companies, the searingly emotional Broken Chords is a visually striking, unexpectedly powerful portrait of breaking up and breaking down. Bracingly honest, full of dark humour, sublime dancing, and playful theatricality, Broken Chords shifts effortlessly between the bleakly comic and the beautifully tragic, charting the director’s devastating divorce with harrowing yet hysterical results. Set among rows of chairs under a huge chandelier, the piece is performed to an original soundtrack with live violin and cello.
