Les Solos 1978-1998 provided an opportunity to re-examine the passionate, formal and rigorous path taken by this unique artist: a retrospective of nine works created and formerly performed by Marie Chouinard during her solo period, along with two new solo creations. “Each work is a miniature masterpiece of precision and a delightful period of intelligence.” (Danser, Paris) “Chouinard builds powerful art from the tension between transgressiveness and artful structures.” (The Village Voice, New York)

In 1999 Marie Chouinard took on an exclusively male world with Des feux dans la nuit, a one-hour solo for a male dancer, with music by Rober Racine, who performed his score live on the piano. “An unforgettable, stirring experience for the audience.” (Hour, Montreal)

Again in 1999, Marie Chouinard combined solos, duets, trios and group movements in 24 Preludes by Chopin, in which she displayed her ease working within a classical structure and in exploring subtle states of mind. “... a dynamic of absolutes, filled with discoveries.” (d’Land Kultur, Luxembourg) “The inventiveness is inexhaustible.” (The Independent, London) “... extremely accomplished pieces, products of a fully matured choreographic imagination.” (The Village Voice, New York)
