Inspired by his knowledge of classical ballet vocabulary, Côté's choreography shapes space with resonating geometries, where poignant human connections unfold.
X (Dix) refers to the myth of Ulysses, who throughout his odyssey has only one desire: returning home. The piece explores the notion of an "inner compass" and the idea that "home" can be a state of mind. A symbol of completeness, finality, and perfection, the number ten is associated with the restarting of the cycle of life and the inevitable transformations that it brings about.
