Montreal choreographer Dave St-Pierre’s La Pornographie des âmes (2004) launched his controversial dance-theatre trilogy, Sociology and Other Contemporary Utopias. His signature abecedery from Pornographie (A for Affect, B for Bruise, etc.) is remobilized to deploy the affective commotion of his remappings of social relations in provocative stagings of queerness, dis/ability, and desire.
