L’écho des racines is a choreographic project born from a fruitful dialogue between flamenco and Quebecois jig, two percussive practices with seemingly opposite dynamics.
Bringing together eight experienced dancers and musicians, the work explores the implicit connections between these two traditions. L’écho des racines poetically and contemporarily illustrates the constant evolution of traditional forms while questioning the notions of roots, transmission, and territorial boundaries. Both reflective and resolutely festive, abundant and accessible, this show brings together audiences of both dance and music.
