The beautiful and unpredictable terrain of the Badlands merges with vivid personal memories in Stria, a solo work created and performed by Marie-Josée Chartier. Deploying a virtuosic blend of movement, music, text and voice, by turns dark, playful and humorous, Chartier travels through a mosaic of evocative images and layers of experience, and touches on themes of nature, love and loss.
Stria refers to a linear mark or groove on a surface, particularly on rock or skin. The Badlands providing a container for the work, prompted Chartier to explore her own personal history and the ’striae' that lie within our bodies.
