Where The World Ends
“I saw the group opening night. Loved it.”
“The performers took us beautifully through every beat of the story with grace, and without needing to utter a single word.”
“The show was just lovely. The way it flowed. The music. The artistry. The choreography. The lighting.”
“Absolutely stunning!!
Could feel it in our bodies. Wow!”
“Powerful performance on a small stage. Best energy per square inch since the actual Apollo launches.”
“Thank you for putting on such a great show in Windsor.”
About the Show
Where The World Ends is a cosmic and passionate contemporary dance show.
Using elements of contemporary dance and theatre performance, this is a show about the fight for survival, and rebirth.
It follows a group of space explorers as they navigate disaster, and struggle to hold on to what makes them human. This show asks, “How do we hold onto one another when faced with the unknown?”

Press
“If someone had told Amherstburg native Carmen Leardi that she would have founded a performing arts company, and directed and cast its first show in eight months, all while bringing different members of the community together, she admits she would not have believed it.”

“... les spectateurs seront interpellés par ce spectacle de danse qui sort vraiment de l’ordinaire.”

— Radio Canada, Windsor - Matins sans frontières
“L’œuvre, qui est née en à peine un mois de travail intensif, met en valeur six danseuses talentueuses de la région, évoquant avec émotion et intensité la question essentielle du soutien mutuel face à l’inconnu.”
