Sneak Peek at Naomi Stikeman’s Çaturn

We’ve said it here before, Naomi is currently producing, writing and directing a multi-disciplinary performance entitled Çaturn, involving dance and a narrative-based film. The show premieres at Usine C November 5th 2008 with eight scheduled performances to follow, and that’s to say nothing of a national and international tour with stints at Festival Danse Encore, the Festival Saint-Sauveur and the Canada Dance Festival at the National Arts Centre, Ottawa.

Çaturn exists between the poles of science and the imaginary. It weighs the fundamentals of change and the possibility of an inherent memory linking humanity and all time. This production is a hybrid of artistic mediums that plays between the philosophical and the humourous, the concrete and the desired. Naomi is working with top collaborators such as Robert Lepage, Frédérike Bédard, Crystal Pite and Janine Sutto to name a few.
