MYOKINE is a unifying work for seven performers that explores how light emerges from darkness and how these two forces must coexist. Inspired by the regenerative molecules of hope released by muscles in motion, Anne Plamondon transforms the stage into a space charged with urgency, resilience, and shared hope. The performers become architects, protectors, and messengers of a vital breath, seeking and offering bursts of clarity that pierce through the darkness. Through movement that is both powerful and luminous, this embodied collective reveals the body’s capacity to heal, to gather, and to create meaning—even in the dark.
