Trad Duets – step dance & music

Two artists of great sensitivity and remarkable refinement, Mélissandre T-B and François-Félix Roy form a duo where delicacy meets power. From traditional Québécois tunes to Scandinavian melodies, from archival songs to mouth music-inspired compositions, François-Félix draws from a vast musical repertoire, performed with a pick or in fingerstyle. Through improvisation, Mélissandre responds to this music in a unique style marked by lightness and subtlety, blending traditional Québec step dance, ballet, and contemporary dance. Creating atmospheres that are by turns playful, dramatic, or virtuosic, they offer a performance rich in nuance — a finely crafted work of artistry, meant to be savored.

Available in Quebec and for touring everywhere.

From Quebec to Ireland, the two internationally renowned artists Mélissandre T-B and Úna Ní Fhlannagáin form a female trad duet that is as powerful as it is creative. The music draws from Úna’s rich repertoire of compositions, obliquely inspired by baroque, classical, pop and jazz, but always rooted in the Irish tradition. Inspired by the diversity of these tunes, Mélissandre improvises steps that are both sensitive and virtuosic, integrating traditional Québécois, balletic and contemporary movements. Through these finely crafted pieces, Úna and Mélissandre explore the feminine experience. 

Mélissandre T-B & Úna Ní Fhlannagáin: two strong artistic personalities, with a brilliant stage presence. A unique repertoire, a highly creative approach to tradition. An unparalleled encounter between Quebec and Ireland, a sisterhood expressed through music and dance.

Available in Ireland, the UK, France, Germany and New Zealand.
