Myokine is a unifying work for seven performers who together explore the body as a source of resilience, beauty, and hope in the face of the urgency to act that characterizes our era. Myokines, molecules secreted by muscles when the body is in motion, are often called "molecules of hope" for the sense of well-being and optimism they provide. For Anne Plamondon, this process symbolizes the salvific role of the body when faced with the increasing complexities and troubling issues of our time.
