Tara Luz Danse: Les bâtons

Presented by Shenkman Arts Centre Presents

To mark its 20th anniversary, Tara Luz Danse presents Les bâtons, the work that has most shaped the company's artistic journey. This playful dance performance celebrates creativity and the power of imagination by drawing inspiration from Boomwhackers, colourful percussion tubes that instantly spark curiosity. Accompanied by live music and sounds performed on stage, the dancers transform these familiar objects in original and unexpected ways. In this dynamic and imaginative universe, movement and music come together in a blend of poetry, humour, and ingenuity.

“Les bâtons is a poetic choreography that captivates audiences of all ages, awakening curiosity from one scene to the next. Moments of wonder and surprise unfold in rhythm with a musical score that becomes one with the performance. The connection shared by the artists on stage carries us into a richly creative and enchanting world. With remarkable finesse, choreographer Anik Bouvrette crafts an experience that resonates with children, youth, and adults alike.” - Hélène Paris
