ABOUT US
Drawn together by movement and creative intuition, we intertwine our expressions to craft a shared language of choreography. Through collaboration, we explore places we might not have reached alone—letting our ideas collide, resonate, and evolve into something neither of us could have imagined on our own.
Vera Kvarcakova and Jérémy Galdeano have formed a dynamic choreographic duo since 2019. Their creation DOMA was highly successful, being included in the mixed program Parlami d'Amore by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens (Montreal, Canada) in May 2019, and has been selected for prestigious events such as the DAC 2019 Carte Blanche in Montreal and the Noverre-Young Choreographers' Evening at the Stuttgart Ballet. The duo was a finalist in the Hannover International Choreographic Competition 2020 and was invited to HANGARTFEST in Italy. Their work was also selected for the Future Dance Festival 92Y in New York, where they presented DOMA at the Joyce Theater as part of the Martha Graham Company season. Their short film DOMA won Best Dance Video at Rio WebFest 2019 and was honored as Best Dance Short Film at the Queen Palm International Film Festival 2020. Their creation ZABA, created during the 2020 lockdown, was selected for the Festival Interfaccia Digitale. They also co-created Solo pour Trois for the Grands Ballets Canadiens gala. In June 2021, their creation FOMO was presented at the Mannheim National Theatre in Germany and at the Quartiers Danses Festival in Montreal, where it was awarded Best Performance (Prix du meilleur spectacle en salle).
