Mithra (Myth) Rabel, a passionate performer, choreographer, and teacher of Haitian origin, has been enriching the Tiohtià:ke/Montréal dance scene for over 20 years. Her artistic journey began on the salsa scene, where she perfected her technique and distinguished herself among her peers. Her passion for movement led her to house dance, becoming a leading figure in the street dance community. For over a decade, she has set dance floors alight and passed on her passion through teaching, learning from the biggest names on the international scene to shape her art with grace and innovation.
Her project “Speakeasy” is a profound introspection inspired by house dance, harmoniously fusing dance, music, and poetry. In this work, I question body memory and its role in shaping the future. I invite the audience to plunge with me into the essence of existence and artistic expression, offering a captivating and emotional experience. The first stage of this project, lasting 10 minutes, was presented at Tangente’s Soirées 100lux last March. It was received with great enthusiasm and left the audience wanting more.
