Alexandra ‘Spicey’ Landé draws her raw material from hip-hop culture, whose field of exploration she is constantly expanding. She founded the Bust A Move Festival (2005–2015), a major street dance competition, before pursuing an intense and striking choreographic approach. Her work In-Ward won the 2019 Prix de la danse de Montréal award for Discovery of the Year.

Blurring the lines and playing with perspective depending on who is looking, La Probabilité du Néant—'Spicey’’s sixth work and her fourth for her company Ebnflōh—takes a lucid look at our perception, our judgement and the consequences of our choices, and highlights our tremendous capacity for resistance and resilience.
