Events Description
The Firehall Arts Centre is pleased to present Anne Plamondon Productions’ Myokine from Thursday, October 30 to Saturday, November 1, 2025.
Myokine is inspired by molecules released by the muscles during physical effort, associated with the regeneration of body and mind. The piece explores the connection between movement, hope, urgency and resilience, while revealing how light and shadow respond to, oppose, and nourish each other. In a world sometimes perceived as dark, the choreography draws luminous bursts that can only exist at the heart of darkness.
The performers become architects, protectors and messengers of a vital breath, seeking and sharing moments of clarity that pierce the gloom. For Anne Plamondon, these “molecules of hope” embody the body’s and dance’s salvatory role in the face of our era’s upheavals. Movement becomes an outlet, a place to welcome our vulnerabilities and transform them into a shared strength.
Driven by a hypnotic score and a passionate Canadian cast, Myokine celebrates the power of dance and the vitality of togetherness. A physical, luminous and profoundly human work, it reminds us that light only finds its full meaning in the midst of shadow — and that the moving body can heal, unite, and restore a sense of purpose.
“Bringing Anne Plamondon and her company to the Firehall is truly an honour”, says Firehall Arts Centre’s Artistic Producer, Donna Spencer. “After a career of dancing with some of the world’s top ballet and contemporary choreographers, Anne moved into creation and choreography. She has collaborated with Vancouver’s Crystal Pite, taught at Arts Umbrella and many other prestigious schools, and is known to Vancouver audiences for her work with Rubber Band Dance. I look forward to sharing the work of this illustrious choreographer with our audiences.”
