Outdoor show for all ages
A spontaneous performance will be held in a park in Outremont. In order to keep a sense of wonder and avoid large gatherings, the time and venue will remain secret, so stay on the lookout!
Live public artwork
Created from a simple white leaf!
In a world turned upside down… How can humanity rebuild itself after a disaster?
We are in a park, in the middle of the city.
Does Nature know?
Ideas rise from the Earth… From a simple white leaf, an artist wonders, imagines… A donkey? A fish? A bird… watch it take flight!
Nature goes on creating itself… Melody goes along with this little fancy, when suddenly… from a whirlwind of white leaves, a wondrous beast appears… Gaza, the Mythical Deer!
The animal frolics as spellbound children follow its footsteps under the surprised gaze of passersby. There, look… near the pond… did you see it?
