Message from the Artistic Director
This year is very exciting and rewarding for SaSaSa. We are creating Taranta | the neo-country tablao, a show reflecting our iconoclastic vision of flamenco, while giving tribute to our own cultural roots.
Many talented collaborators contribute to the success of this project: the singer Iris Godbout, Julie Rocque (lyrics), Marie Deschenes (text), BeanTree Graphics (press release), Baazooka (web design), as well as financial support from the Canada Council for the Arts.
We will begin performances in February 2010.
I can’t wait...
In the meantime, if you want to discover a traditional and joyously improvised flamenco performance, come to the
