Having toured in Canada,
Europe, Asia and Latin America, NORMAN, created by Michel Lemieux and Victor
Pilon, will make its American premiere at the John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts in Washington on October 6, 7 and 8, 2011. It is the fourth
production of Lemieux Pilon 4D Art to be performed in this theatre.
"We have a
longstanding relationship with The Kennedy Centre in Washington and are
honoured to be giving the American premiere of NORMAN, a tribute to the OSCAR™
winning Canadian filmmaker Norman McLaren, in this prestigious theatre," said Michel Lemieux. "This production integrates film with dance and
music, extending the limits of these disciplines bringing the audience in
McLaren’s innovative world."
"We hope that
spectators will enjoy our journey into the movement, abstraction and humanism
that characterize the films of this genius of the moving image. McLaren’s
playful animated landscapes provide a framework for the show and truly reflect
his personality," added Victor Pilon.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is one of the most
important and well-attended theatres in the United States. A wide range of
American and international shows are presented there including plays, musicals,
contemporary dance, ballet, opera, orchestral and popular music, as well as
multimedia productions.
