The exploration of the land, past and present, physically and symbolically; the meeting point where stories are shared; the sharing of ideas and of oneself. A political gesture of peace, negotiation, exchange and acceptance.
What will unfold during L’Inconnu are dialogues and movements emerging as part of a specific event at a secret location, revealed only to the holders of tickets.
For a 3rd consecutive year, FURIES offers carte blanche to a renowned artist. This year, Tony Chong takes us on a solo journey around questions of territory, the passage of time and memory. This work is presented as a world premiere.

Tony Chong is a multifaceted artist, born and raised in Vancouver, who has been living in Montreal since 1994. He is a versatile choreographer, dancer, performer, and creative director, with a keen interest in various forms of art such as dance, theatre, new media technology, film, cooking, and photography. Tony has been recognized for his creative pursuits and works by Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseils des arts et des lettres du Québec.
Tony’s experience as the Artistic Assistant Director on Cirque du Soleil’s show Totem and Co-director of Le Groupe Dance Lab in Ottawa paved the way for him to launch his Collective RNTF (Remember Not to Forget) with Carol Prieur. Recently RNTF is developing an exciting performance event called PARADE based on the codes of fashion runways. On November 2023, Tony premiered his film Revealing the Invisible at the DWFNY in New York co-directed with filmmaker Marlene Millar. It is currently screening in Festivals in Europe, Asia and in Canada. Currently Tony and RNTF is touring a 50-minute dance solo Invisible无形, a personal reflection on how one navigates within a systemic cultural in-existence in various theatres in Québec. Invisible无形 was presented for the first time outside Québec at the 2024 Vancouver International Dance Festival in March 2024. He will be presenting a revised duet of Le Petit Chaperon rouge called Wolves in June 2025 at the Busan International Dance Festival in Busan, Korea.
Tony’s extensive career as a dancer includes collaborations with renowned dance companies such as La Compagnie Marie Chouinard, Carbon 14, La Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault, Dominique Porte’s Système D, Louise Bédard Danse, José Navas’ Compagnie Flak, Sinha Danse, Germany’s Steptext Dance Theatre, and Line Nault. For the past few years, Tony has been working with the Bluemouth inc. Collective (Toronto/Brooklyn) on the production of Elephant along with apprenticing with their David Usher Re-imagine AI installation project called LUCY AI. (Photo : Carol Prieur)
