Lone Epic (excerpt) A solo set to selections from Bernard Herrmann’s score for Citizen Kane, Lone Epic explores the possibility of human emotion within a facade of presentation, while recognizing that the emotions of love and loss, intensely personal, are of epic importance.

“Louise Lecavalier is one of the most renowned dancers to ever come out of contemporary dance, a legend. And that is how Crystal Pite staged Lecavalier, in Lone Epic. Witty and charming, a solo for a senior dancer. ” – Berliner Zeitung

“The new Louise Lecavalier is all flesh and tempered steel. Magical.” – Le Figaro

“Her flamboyant figure dominates, literally devouring the stage.” – Le Devoir

Louise Lecavalier was born in Montreal, joined Édouard Lock’s La La La Human Steps in 1981, and went on to perform in every one of the company’s productions until 1999. She received the Jean A. Chalmers National Award, Canada’s most distinguished dance prize, in 1999 and a Career Grant from the Conseil des arts et des letters du Quebec in 2003. She regularly gives workshops and master classes in Canada and Europe, while mounting creative projects both as an independent dancer and for her production company, Fou glorieux, founded in 2006.
