Performance evening curated by Michael Martini featuring artists Mara Dupas, Justin De Luna, and Priscilla Guy.

COSMOS³ is:
⚡ A performance evening
⚡ An invitation extended to artists Mara Dupas, Justin De Luna, and Priscilla Guy
⚡ Resources and dedicated space-time offered to dive into a performative project
⚡ A convivial coming-together

The framework offered to the artists:
⚡ Carte blanche on content and form
⚡ Create from a restricted technical setup
⚡ Conclude with a public performance

"COSMOS represents a momentary constellation, a coming-together of dance artists that we aim to be intergenerational, interdisciplinary, intercultural, inter-everything. I can’t wait to see the artists dive in- carte blanche- to their current obsessions and come out with something to share. Not only do we gather around three new works from three artists, but we gather around food as well, in an effort to appreciate being together while sharing our thoughts on the new works at hand.

This year’s Sophie Corriveau and I collaborated on inviting three artists - Justin De Luna, Mara Dupas, and Priscilla Guy- who will present works ranging from 30 minutes to 10 minutes. In proposing this structure, I’m hoping to destabilize two habits: that of comparing two artists sharing a double-bill and that of treating longer works as inherently more significant. 

I trust these artists- their delicatesse, their intelligence, their critical engagement. Sophie and I are excited to see how these artists will take on our challenge.
Join us in April." — Michael Martini

With COSMOS³, Danse-Cité aims to create a new alternative and unifying space for both artistic communities and audiences.

Launched in September 2023, COSMOS is a presentation platform conceived to disrupt the usual rhythm of creation.
