NEW SHOW
"At the Table of the Gods"
HANDS FEET CONNECTION aims to transform the traditional "jazz" concert format by introducing a percussive, expressive, and dramatic element embodied by a tap dancer. They advocate for a theatrical interpretation of jazz music, highlighting its ability to stimulate the audience's imagination through the representation of soundscapes enriched by dance and theatrical storytelling. The duo seeks to revive the historical connection between percussive dance (tap dance) and the liberating essence of jazz music. Their inaugural creation, "At the Table of the Gods" (2024), showcases their talent in evoking vivid imagery and emotions.
