Deepstaria is a dance and sound piece by choreographer Wayne McGregor, presented at Théâtre Maisonneuve in Montreal from March 31 to April 2, 2027. The work runs 75 minutes and is conceived as a meditative, highly sensory experience rather than a narrative performance.
About the piece
Deepstaria reflects on humankind's relationship with the void and with mortality, themes that the production approaches through movement and sound. Its title is taken from an enigmatic species of jellyfish, and that sense of something vast, translucent and unfamiliar runs through the work.
McGregor's practice has long explored how the body meets technology, and Deepstaria extends that inquiry to artificial intelligence. The result is a pure dance piece in which the performers' bodies remain at the centre of the experience.
What to expect
- A single sitting of about 75 minutes, with no interval listed in the details available.
- A slow, immersive atmosphere built on sound and movement.
- A performance at Théâtre Maisonneuve, a theatre in the heart of Montreal.
Visitors interested in contemporary dance, or in work that questions technology and what it means to be human, will find the piece well suited to them. Montreal itself offers a lively cultural scene, so an evening at the theatre can easily be paired with time in the city.
