MAYDAY

At the recent Prix de la danse de Montréal, Confession Publique won both the award for best choreographic work of the 2021-2022 season, by Mélanie Demers, and for dancer Angélique Willkie's interpretation. This uniquely powerful performance plunges the audience into the heart of confidences and secrets, both spontaneous and not-so-spontaneous. At the pinnacle of her international career, Angélique Willkie pours out her heart and soul in a renewed burst of authenticity and sharing, revealing with immediate impact our intimate relationship with the truth. Exposed, undressed, exposed, her ultra-vulnerability makes her more sovereign and unattainable than ever. Choreographer Mélanie Demers exposes the immense talent of this performer to the implacable law of the present moment, which alone determines the rules of the game. The result is an unprecedented and deeply moving tour de force.
