My favourite piece from last year’s Nuit Blanche was Mircea Cantor’s Deeparture, at the Isabel Bader Theatre. The work is a looped film wherein a deer and a wolf are confined together in a white cube space. The tension evoked in these few short minutes is electric. When I came home (at 5 a.m., beyond exhausted,) I searched online high and low to find a digital version of the film, to no avail.

When vvork.com posted Cantor’s Free With A Smile, I went to the artist’s webpage to learn more and was instead thrilled to discover his YouTube channel (and funny–I had just finished reading this). It also appears that the video was added mere weeks after Nuit Blanche. I should have kept checking!

So, please go, and watch Deeparture for yourself.
