Écho

Écho, a film directed by world-renowned choreographer Édouard Lock, interpreted by Rachele Buriassi, principal dancer of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens and produced by PHI Studio presents a dance intertwined in reflections and immersed in a cinematic night. Mirrored approximations ebb along surfaces like shadow on water as a ballerina peers into herself, her memories floating up, around and under her, with each leading to a different trail and a different outcome. One shared beginning, one source, one end, multiple echos.

Édouard Lock directs and choreographs. Rachele Buriassi dances, the rhythm, and cadence of her movements flowing through the choreography like wind in grass; James O’Callaghan’s score resonating both dissonance and harmony, cools every image that passes through his precise and evocative score. A world where illusion and dance are derived from feelings of solitude during the first wave of confinement.
