Mōnad (from the ancient Greek monad, meaning 'unit') refers to the idea of a self-sufficient, unicellular organism containing multiple universes. Major player on Québec's hip-hop dance scene, Alexandra 'Spicey' Landé embodies this Mōnad.
Inspired by this primary matter and energised by her symbiotic relationship with dance and hip hop culture, Spicey welcomes materials and sounds that form and deform, adapt and transform as they interact. How can we approach different incarnations of a single life? Mōnad is a vibrant consideration of the relationships in interrelated universes, questioning the notion of eternity.
