Event Cancelled
Due to unforeseen challenges, Le Patin Libre has had to make the difficult decision to cancel their February tour dates of Murmuration, including their Calgary performance on February 12 at Winsport. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment. If you are a ticket holder, please contact the Arts Commons Box Office at boxoffice@artscommons.ca for your options.
Fascinating in their precision, enthusiasm and virtuosity, the artists of Le Patin Libre are faster on their skates than ever! Their new work – inspired by the mysterious phenomenon of flocking birds – is choreographed from simple algorithms that are made more and more complex: gliding, darting, and moving in unison, Murmuration is an adrenaline rush for the whole family!

Le Patin Libre ·
Le Patin Libre is a contemporary ice skating company from Montreal. This performing art uses ice, skates and glide as medias. Some people see our work as a form of “contemporary dance on ice”. The first collective was founded in 2005 by ex high-level figure skaters. They regrouped with the intention of transforming their athleticism into a mean of free expression. Far from sparkles, stereotypes and champions’ demos, the creations of Le Patin Libre propose real works of art exploiting the amazing choreographic and theatrical potential of glide.
"A new masterpiece, epic and fascinating."
