QUADRIGA
This live dance-based performance work began in a shared studio on Regina’s Scarth Street Mall in 1983, where Edward Poitras was creating an installation work, entitled Big Iron Sky, and simultaneously, Robin Poitras was creating solo dance works. These processes resulted in Das Cheval Dance (1984), one of the first collaborative performance-based works by Robin Poitras and Edward Poitras. 

This new edition of the horse dance draws from a body of horse dance works that Edward Poitras and Robin Poitras have developed over the past 4 decades. 

QUADRIGA is created in conjunction with Edward Poitras’ 4-part exhibition entitled Revolution in the Rock Garden.

QUADRIGA in the Rock Garden, is inspired by historical and mythical resonances from ancient to contemporary images, ideas and stories of human and horse relationships. From the triumphant quadriga originally of the Hippodrome of Constantinople and the film, The Cave of Forgotten Dreams (Werner Herzog, 2010) along with other horse tales, seeking the rhythms of Saskatchewan’s ancient sea and possibly forgotten dances. 

QUADRIGA features a group of dance and theatre artists, including: Johanna Bundon, Jayden Pfeifer, Marcus Merasty, Krista Solheim, Anna Protsiou, Brooke Hess, Caitlin Sarna, Tessa Rae Kuz, Marcus Merasty & Robin Poitras

QUADRIGA
BY EDWARD POITRAS AND ROBIN POITRAS

PERFORMER: JOHANNA BUNDON

THIS 
emerged out of the 2nd staging of a group work entitled 
END OF WINTER 2017.

Exploring the tip of an iceberg, a side story to the End of Winter,
​asking what happened in the details between the cracks in the ice when the interconnections were lost.

​Alone adrift, afloat on a carpet of ice, Krista and her fur bundle are separated. THIS, explores edges of loss and recovery, in the perpetual slip stream of a changing landscape.
