A Pigeons International production, Montreal

5 AM (5 heures du matin ) is a new compelling work from Montreal's renowned Pigeons International and acclaimed photographer Serge Clement. Taken at sunrise, in seven cities across five continents, Serge Clement's photographs are the central inspiration for 5 AM , a unique production that blends theatre, dance and photography. Last seen in Vancouver with their acclaimed production of The Other, this second part to her Earth Trilogy , Paula de Vasconcelos contemplates the world as it is today, creating a show that is both intimate and grandiose.
Pigeons International has a glowing reputation for ingenious staging and integration of international artists and influences. Artistic Director Paula de Vasconcelos is renowned as an artist with a bold and fresh voice.
