The performance of Compagnie Marie Chouinard in the Williams Art Center this past Wednesday was interesting to say the least. The performance itself was a very intricate one, involving much difficult choreography and movement. Personally however, I found it a bit difficult to relate to. I could tell that the intent was to add some symbolism, but I had a hard time trying to understand what that symbolism was. The production itself was a bit too conceptual than what I am used to. This is most likely attributed to the fact that I do not have a very strong background in studying the arts. It was clear that the performers were not only great athletes, but had put much time into preparing for this show. It’s just that I did not take as much out of this event as I had from other performances, such asĀ The Arabian Nights
I also had a tough time deciphering the performance’s symbolism. I left the performance a bit unsure of what the message that was supposed to be portrayed was, and I am still very unsure of what that message was supposed to be.
