En Masse by Rawcus

En Masse

En Masse is a larger-than-life projection installation featuring the award-winning Rawcus Ensemble.

Made in collaboration with First Nations choreographer Amelia J O’Leary and videographer Michael Carmody, En Masse explores the tension between being an individual and being part of a group.

In this short, looped work diverse people appear and disappear in a choreography of solos, of couples, of crowds. En Masse is a celebration of the power of the collective and a revolt against the perfectly synchronised chorus line.
