Francis Dube (Dart Vapor)

"Inspired by the Rope Dart in its traditional form, a kung-fu weapon, his movements embody power and control. Years of practice rewarded him with a place in the prestigious Rope Dart Academy, alongside some of the world’s best rope dartists.

The infinite quest to master his art led him to the world of fire and LED performances. He can take over any stage, filling it with an overwhelming passion.

Well known in the flow arts community of Montreal, he taught Rope Dart to more than 300 students over the last year in multiple festivals, events and classes."

TriFlow Fest

The first edition of TriFlow Fest took place on June 8-10, 2018, in the enchanted woods of a Scouts Camp in Trois-Rivières (Qc). More than 75 workshops were taught by local and international artists during the day, and at nightfall the bass stage came alive with a delicious line up of DJ / local producers, campfire and epic fire jams of several hours. Eden Creative's immersive Theater premiered Friday night, and Saturday night began with the “TriFlow show”, a production created collectively with inscriptions from the participants.

TriFlow Fest is the result of a wonderful collaboration of the flow arts community and the outcome is a schedule full of workshops for any levels of skills with a wide variety of disciplines (flow arts, aerial arts, performing arts / theatricality, creativity, juggling, acroyoga, hand to hand, fire satefy, ...), a hint of music festival, a low entrance fee so the event is as accessible as can be, and a cozy atmosphere with communal meals and a touch of "weekend at the cottage", connecting with friends and the nature surrounding.
