Inhabitation in Montreal, Vancouver and a new creation!

Thank you to everyone who came out to see Inhabitation, co-presented by Tangente and the MAI as part of Festival Accès Asie. 

Also big thanks for the amazing work by the team of presenters! Check out the reviews and an interview with the Gazette. 

In other news, I am very excited to be able to present two works in Vancouver this summer.  Inhabitation is invited to the 25th anniversary of the Dancing on the Edge Festival in July, and I am premiering my newest work, entitled POND, at the Powell Street Festival in August!

Threshold in Querétaro, Mexico!

Just came back from Mexico last night. I had a great experience performing Threshold (35-min version) at the Festival Siguientescena in Querétaro. Also, I had the chance to spend some short but amazing time in Mexico City afterwards! I am grateful for all the warm hospitality. Thank you so much for everyone who made it possible!!!

Short&Sweet 8 @ Festival TransAmériques

Participating in this exciting event for the first time, I presented a new piece titled Satowa. This edition of Short & Sweet had a theme of "strange pairings", so for the very first time I decided to work with a music composition written by my mother. It might not be so strange to audience members but it was a stimulating challenge for me, especially working with traditional music. In the end, I believe the collaboration brought an interesting result and I feel that it opened a new door for me. I would like to thank everyone who came out to the show, and Andrew and Sasha for inviting me to participate!

and... Happy Valentine's Day :-)

Johannes, the owner of the place, had an amazing collection of gongs, and it was a special venue for the final performance of this tour.  Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the show!!

Dynamo + Komodo Dubs

Thank you so much for coming out to the performances last Saturday!!

Dynamo Coléoptera show went well, I enjoyed so much listening from back stage all new layers that a new collaborator Vincent added to the band sound - and of course performing together  the new fun song (revised from old band repertory) was great too.

Komodo Dubs was such fun, I enjoyed so much the vibration of the night.

Here I would like to share a review of the performance:
