La Cabine téléphonique is an interactive site-specific work created as part of the developmental process of the Ligne Morte puppet opera. This interactive booth where the public is invited to leave voice messages for people who have died will enable the two creators to receive people’s testimonials in an intimate, anonymous and poetic way. The sound material collected in this way will be used for the musical composition of the opera.
Language: Instructions in French and in English. Messages can be left in any language.
Running time: 5 to 15 minutes
Technique: Intimate and anonymous recording installation
Company
Sisters Maïa and Danaë Ménard-Bélanger have long shared a close bond. Their artistic universe straddles the line between innocence and anguish, taking a compassionate look at our mortality. Their aesthetic is rooted in fairy-tale folklore, highlighting the imperfection of materials while blending baroque and rustic sensibilities.
After studies and experimentation in their respective fields, one in scenography, the other in music, they eventually combined their talents under the name Les Soeurs Terreur.
