Escualo

A brief, percussive burst of synchronized footwork that feels powerful and propulsive, with a shadowy edge.

Directed by

Facundo Lombard, Martín Lombard

Overview

Set to Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla’s music of the same title, Escualo showcases fast and furious tapping by the Lombard twins: Martin and Facundo Lombard. The unison tapping sequences pack a percussive punch as the duo dances throughout the bare space. Translating to “shark” in Spanish, Escualo fittingly floods the screen with power, drive, drama, and a hint of mystery.
