On the same night when La La La Human Steps finishes its weeklong Southland visit, Montreal Danse completes French Canada’s conquest of local audiences with a daring program at Cal State L.A. titled “Love, Death and Other Details.” The company was formed in 1986, and its choreographic “details” include Jose Navas’ “Enter: Last” and Paula de Vasconcelos’ “Love Letter to Tarantino.” Yes, she means that Tarantino--the creator of the films “Reservoir Dogs” and “Pulp Fiction.” So don’t expect dainty lyricism.
