Mélanie Demers / MAYDAY Danse

In the world’s grand parade, humans are nothing more than sad little animals. Prisoners of a hidden biology that guides their every step. In Animal Triste, a national cast of inexhaustible performers grapple with this inner turmoil, with setbacks and vagaries of living together. At once man and woman, slaves to their desires and anxious to escape them, they are terrestrial beings, wild animals, angels and demons. Side by side, these domesticated primates rush towards something: their ruin, most likely.
