This most recent piece by Marie Chouinard is based on Erik Satie's Gymnopédies (1888) and is created around the duet form, both loving and erotic in its expression. Compagnie Marie Chouinard dancers push their limits by taking turns playing Erik Satie's iconic piece of music live on the piano. One reviewer wrote, _x001C_"With everything reduced to such inspired essentials, the evening rose to the highest form of art, propelled by a choreographer operating at her creative peak, where we could truly expect the unexpected"._x001D_
