PREMIERE
soul mates is a poetic ode to the joy of the Wild Child that exists inside each one of us. A cross between visual art and performance art, soul mates is an ode to the coming together of the human soul and its wild sisters, whose multiple forms are embodied in nature. It’s also an ode to childhood, where living in the present moment, in one’s body and one’s senses, comes naturally. soul mates dares to offer a moment of silence, beauty, and wonder, inviting audiences of all ages to experience a moment of timelessness.
A universe of an admirable aesthetic coherence and an uncommon beauty and vibrancy. A finely tuned dialogue between image, illustration, body, masks, and nature. An exceptional technical mastery and an aesthetic quest that is as fertile as it is unique.
– Christian St-Pierre, JEU, revue de théâtre
Language: Without words
Running time: 45 minutes

Working with masks and puppets allows her to set her visual world in motion by incorporating the performing arts, illustrated books, and animated film.
