VERNACULAR SPECTACULAR: April 25-27, 2025
2025 guest artists :
Chester Whitmore, Marie N’Diaye, Sarah Elola & Raoul Wilke!!
As guests in the culture, our intention is to re-center the Africanity of Jazz dance by inviting artists who embody its original values. Jazz is revisited from a broader cultural context, from multiple lived experiences, from its deep cultural memory. What is jazz in its blackness, its transgenerational & diasporic context? And who are we within this space? Vernacular Spectacular aims at immersing all the participants in the form and opening a whole new meaning to our collective experience.
NEXT EDITION: April 25-27, 2025 in Montréal, Canada.
