Les bâtons – Virtual Performance
Inspired by a fun musical instrument called “Boomwhackers”, Les bâtons is a creative, playful and dynamic work that explores the power of imagination. As the performance unfolds, the artists combine their ingenuity to transform these colourful objects in clever and unexpected ways, encouraging audiences to open their own imaginations. Les bâtons also celebrates the coming together of three artistic disciplines found in the Ontario arts curriculum – dance, music and theatre – and how these three art forms can co-exist within one work in unique ways.
