MONTREAL—The Divine Performing Arts was welcomed by warm applause at Montreal’s Place des Arts this Friday. Among them was retired fashion designer Ms. Boulanger-Bussière.
“Ah, I’m delighted! The colours are magnificent, the movements are light, very harmonious, and the group coordination was extraordinary. It is very harmonious,” explained Ms. Boulanger-Bussière.
The fashion designer had high remarks for the performers and the whole production.
“I’ve seen some shows with Chinese performances, but never with this size, with this explosion of movement and colour. It’s enthusiasm, and especially there’s a real ensemble, the movements are so well planned and so well-performed, the dancers are like one, there are so many on the scene, but they go in one movement and one posture, it’s fantastic.
“There’s great harmony and it seems like every dancer is part of the others … it’s very lively, and very colourful, and at the same time very harmonious,” she said.
She elaborated by adding that “there’s a great rhythm, there’s nothing rough in the movements, it’s nothing provocative, it’s like a harmony of the whole group—this is what impresses me.”
As a fashion designer, Ms. Boulanger-Bussière was asked to comment on the costumes from the show.
“What would inspire me the most are the colours and the movement. … The body is covered a lot compared to many other ballet or dances, but the dancers move with all that fabric on them like they wear nothing. And they use it in their movement, which is fabulous.”
She also added that “each scene had different costumes, different colours always beautiful and warm.”
In the past, fashion designers have commented that they were greatly inspired by the costumes in the Divine Performing Arts shows. When asked what could inspire fashion designers, Ms. Boulanger-Bussière said: “…by the colour, by the form and by the freedom of the movements which leave, despite that sometimes it’s very intense, they permit freedom in the movements. I am very pleasantly touched by the scale of this performance.”
When asked how this type of performance compares to Western performances, Ms. Boulanger-Bussières said: “I think it is more colourful, more lively, it’s perfect. The movements are more rapid and at the same time more harmonious. It’s fluid and rhythmic. Here we also have dance like that. We have costumes, but we don’t have this richness of colours, this explosion should I say, of colours, it’s really a nice ensemble.”
Divine Performing Arts will perform one more shows in Montreal’s Place des Arts this weekend on Sunday, Jan. 18, at 2:30 p.m.
