Vancouver International Flamenco Festival: ÈBE

The Vancouver International Flamenco Festival presents ÈBE, Sarah Bronsard / La Sporee (Montreal).

This show is available in the festival's Waterfront Pass.

Created in 2018, Èbe (which signifies the outgoing tide) is the result of an artistic collaboration between Sarah Bronsard / La Sporee and Patrick Saint-Denis (robotic and audio art). An extended version was created in 2021, with a new team of collaborators including Olivier Arseneault as performer and co-creator. The piece unfolds around a choir of five accordion-robots with choreography anchored in flamenco to explore the communicational dimension of breath. The unconscious adaptation of the breath to the accordions, like the hypnotic effect of the sea, reveals the power of the unknown, situating us somewhere beyond our own personal questioning. It is from this cyclic and vital phenomenon that Èbe came to be. The poetic anchors that sustain the work are the cyclic movement of waves, the breath, and the remnants on a beach when the waters have retreated. From this metaphor of what remains after the tides, we dig below the surface beyond what is commonly heard from an accordion and flamenco, as we seek to find what connects us in the interstices. Èbe offers a contemplative and sensorial experience shared through different rhythms that live in us and around us.

 

Sarah Bronsard has a multi-disciplinary background in visual arts (painting, glass work, electronic arts) infusing with her choreographic practice.
