Le Patin Libre (French for “Free Skate”) are pioneers of contemporary skating who defy stereotypes, transforming athleticism into a means of free expression. Founded in Montréal by former high-level figure skaters, the company wields ice, skates and glide as pure mediums of artistic storytelling.

In “Glide,” the skating artists draw on influences from theatre, street dance, and tap, applying all to the ice as stage. With joyful authenticity and no frills, Le Patin Libre combine the best of their showstopping repertory to create a festive quick dive into their ice dance universe.

Join FirstWorks for a free ice-dancing show at 7 PM followed by a public ice-skating dance party with DJ Atlas at 8 PM, open to all!
