When & Where October 30 – November 1, 2025, Thursday-Saturday at 7:30pm | Firehall Arts Centre| 280 E. Cordova Street

Myokine is inspired by molecules released by the muscles during physical effort, associated with the regeneration of body and mind. The piece explores the connection between movement, hope, urgency and resilience, while revealing how light and shadow respond to, oppose, and nourish each other. In a world sometimes perceived as dark, the choreography draws luminous bursts that can only exist at the heart of darkness.
