Los Cuatro Vientos

...tells the story of Canada’s development into a pluralistic society. It refers to The Four Powers or Four Directions, an aboriginal belief, shared by several cultures around the globe, that there are gifts or powers coming from different wind directions that contribute to the Circle of Life. The characteristics of each of the powers were the inspiration for the choreography and music of four distinct sections.

The underlying meaning of the show is to honour the beauty that can develop when different cultures come together. This beauty is also celebrated by Flamenco, itself an exciting blend of cultures. Los Cuatro Vientos is our collective story.
