ENTRELACÉS

30-minutes, 2025

World premiere January 22–25, 2026, presented at Tangente (Montreal, QC)

Entrelacés continues the tradition of personal practice in tap dance and jazz music. Like a dream that cannot be fully described, the work embraces abstraction while evoking a sense of familiarity. Rooted in a language common to jazz culture, the artists create surreal soundscapes using sensory and technological devices. The ephemeral energy generated by improvised harmonic and rhythmic interactions immerses us in an environment where vulnerability, connection, patience, adventure, and discovery flourish. Through this intimate performance, a sense of fulfillment is sought, even though it is clear that the end point marks only the beginning of new ideas.
