Off the EDGE 2016 program focus: La Otra Orilla
Sensitive to the world of music and dance from very early childhood, Myriam Allard’s life changed when she discovered flamenco. She now lives in Montreal, where she founded La Otra Orilla in 2006 with singer and director Hedi Graja. Within this company she has developed a unique choreographic expression and produced 7 different shows that have toured Canada, the United States, South America and the United Kingdom with much success.
Works by acclaimed La Otra Orilla are recognizable for their unique and radical approach to flamenco, reflecting an absolutely trans-disciplinary vision. Based on the collaboration between dancer and choreographer Myriam Allard and singer-director Hedi Graja, this company embodies and celebrates the timeless and universal appeal of flamenco. The artistic directors rely on their in-depth knowledge of the nuances and modes of this art to suggest a hybrid language that is modern and poetic, creating strong productions that are firmly rooted in the present.
As part of Off the EDGE Program 2 on Saturday March 5th they will be performing excerpts of Moi&lesAutres (Me & the Others) by Myriam Allard and Hedi Graja. In this brand new piece, the charismatic dancer-choreographer Myriam Allard and the singer and director Hedi Graja reaffirm their unique style of reinvented flamenco. Hybrid, iconoclastic and poetic. See below for a video preview.
