The Champlain 400 Parade
The Champlain 400 Parade (“From First Encounter…to the Future”) is a unique art event. A moving performance by 35 choreographers and hundreds of dancers, it also includes music, giant puppets, and street theater groups from Vermont, Québec, and the northeast region. Each piece of choreography is a personal statement in dance, and seen as a whole, the parade takes viewers on a journey through time and space. It begins with the land and its people, before the arrival of Champlain, the French explorer. Led by Native Americans, the parade includes historical dance forms, and choreographers who have created original dances on the themes of first encounters, crossing borders, meeting “the other” and cultural appropriation. In the last part of the parade, we look to the future, to contemporary forms such as hip-hop and dances of diversity, representing the many cultures that are now part of our melting-pot society
