Frédérick Gravel (Montreal)

Usually Beauty Fails

January 28 – 30, 2014, 8PM
Fei & Milton Wong Experimental Theatre at SFU Woodward’s in the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts

Usually Beauty Fails is a declaration of ambiguous love for popular culture and the high culture of dance. The piece is performed by nine dancers/musicians who break loose to the music of Grouped’ArtGravelArtGroup and the trenchant words of Gravel. Following in the path of Gravel Works (2008) and Tout se pète la gueule chérie (2009), acclaimed both in Canada and Europe, this new creation contains physical intensity, rock music, and a coexistence of artistic genres.

Presented with the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival and SFU Woodward’s
