The Ebnflōh Dance Company, founded in 2015 by Alexandra ‘Spicey’ Landé, offers a unique choreographic language and artistic vision. She promotes creative exploration by broadening the field of research for street dance in Canada while remaining true and faithful to the base of Hip-Hop’s origins. Her artistic signature, her community involvement, and her contribution to the growth and development of dancers and the discipline itself, make the company an acclaimed actor in the dance milieu in Quebec. Inclusive at the core, it equally values the practices of emerging talent along with those of the culturally diverse. The company hopes to make street dance more accessible - its diversified public is a testament to the company’s success.

 
 

Artist Snapshot:

 

La Probabilité du Néant

Will indifference to the Other get the better of us? How can we make sense of our actions when we witness extreme situations that take us to the edge of nothingness?

Continuing her exploration of the human psyche, Spicey establishes the genesis of this work in the "Bystander Effect". Is the witness an observer or an accomplice? Spicey blurs the lines and perspectives depending on who is watching. On stage, the audience is surrounded by projection canvases. Spicey has always been influenced by cinema and theater, but this is the first time she has used video in her choreographic work. ​

With its incisive dance, La Probabilité du Néant questions our perceptions, our judgments, and the consequences of our choices. In the strange possibility of our own self-destruction, she also reminds us of our luminous capacity for resistance and resilience. La Probabilité du Néant is 'Spicey's' sixth work and the fourth for Ebnflōh, her company, a finalist for the 2020 Grand Prix du Conseil des arts de Montréal.
