Le Patin Libre: Murmuration


  • John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Outdoor Plaza 2700 F Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20566 United States (map)

Performances: Feb 17-22, various hours

Experience a winter wonderland with this outdoor production! The Canadian company brings its unique blend of dance and skating to an ice rink installed on an outdoor Kennedy Center plaza.

Le Patin Libre champions the idea of “glide” as an expansive definition for skating, calling it “the possibility to imprint movement on immobile bodies.” In Murmuration, 15 dancers demonstrate the athleticism and artistry of “glide,” taking inspiration from the mysterious phenomenon of bird flocks in undulating flight patterns to craft an exhilarating mix of speed, precision, and fluid choreography. Choreographed by Alexandre Hamel, Pascale Jodoin, and Samory Ba, this one-hour adventure is an adrenaline rush the whole family will appreciate!
