Place de la Paix Book

Delving into her Trinidadian roots and her father's influence for this piece, Samantha “Sam I Am Montolla” Hinds explores the steel percussion known as the “Iron.” Through this piece, she aims to deepen familial bonds and cultural understanding by learning to play the instrument and its rhythms. She combines her beat-making skills to video, live music production and performance – blending tradition with modern artistic techniques. Through experimentation, collaboration and improvisation, Samantha navigates the complexities of identity and tradition, seeking to authentically learn, share and perform.

This show is presented in French and English.
