Dance Side Of The Moon is re-imagining of the greatest concept album of all time. Using movement, music, and video projection, Simard creates a hauntingly poetic reflection on fear, isolation, and hope. Performed by Maxine Segalowitz and featuring original video work by Kim-Sanh Châu, Dance Side Of The Moon is a surrealist treat for the senses that intimately explores our collective need for genuine human connection.

Bold, visceral, and galvanizing in its simplicity and sincerity.

From the moment the A-side begins to spin (yes, actual vinyl!), Segalowitz whirls and crawls and slams and contorts her way across and around the intimate Freestanding Room venue. Acid rock meets twisting sister, Segalowitz and Simard avoid cliché and fill even the quietest moments with subtle seduction. Grab your tickets now to avoid disappointment.
