Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal patrons please note: the house at all three performances (that's Friday, Saturday and Sunday) this weekend will not open until 20 minutes before curtain. You'll find out why....
UPDATE: Those of you that attended Minus One this weekend now know what this cryptic note was about. Starting the performance before curtain is something of a Naharin trademark. I'm not sure I could give an adequate explanation of what he is driving at by playing with start times and intermissions except to say that removal of barriers is most certainly a them.
I wanted to give a heads up that arriving early would not mean settling into your seat for a nice long chat, but would, in fact, mean waiting in the lobby a bit. But I didn't want to spoil the first moment of mild surprise that greeted audiences when they discovered a stage full of dancers and an audience murmuring away at 7:15.
