PAPILLON | RVK Fringe 2025 | June 5th & 7th 2025

What can we expect from the unexpected? What can we recognize in the chaotic, in a world governed by unpredictability? Drawing on the aesthetics of street and contemporary dance, PAPILLON juxtaposes three solos and a live experimental soundtrack in a complex trio that explores the delicate balance between order and disorder. For 50 minutes, the dancers weave in and out of sync through a complex choreographic partition, supported by a live, hypnotic musical soundtrack. Inspired by chaos theory and mathematical equations, PAPILLON is a raw, engulfing reflection on loneliness and togetherness, singularity and similarity, metamorphosis and above all, the importance of human connection. The show is accessible and fun, while remaining artistically challenging. Presented over 60 times across Canada, at The Edinburgh Fringe (Summerhall) and in Cape Town South Africa (Suidoosterfees) PAPILLON is a global phenomenon!

"The magic of Papillion is that although it is clearly constructed with deep intellectualism and gravitas, it's in your bones and gut that it truly hits."
