Audrey Villiard
Le temps des Lilas
Using video-game controllers, director Audrey Villiard “plays” the film live in the theatre by orchestrating the choice and order of scenes and controlling the pacing and transitions. Her interpretation is accompanied by a live soundtrack performed by Mathieu Charbonneau and Simon Trottier (Ferriswheel, Timber Timbre, Avec pas d’casque et Last Ex).

Running piece
Running Piece is a time-out in the middle of a creation process. Grand Poney built itself a marvellous device that allows us to travel without moving and move without travelling. Here, we exhibit its potential.

Grand Poney is an indiscernible, visionary and noble beast. Established in Montreal by founder Jacques Poulin-Denis, the interdisciplinary company devises a hybrid and collaborative process based on choreographic abstraction, musical composition and theatrical dramaturgy. It draws its narrative from the infinite traits of the human existence: our physical and psychic states, our impulses and principles and our relationship to others and to ourselves. We use a measure of unfeasibility to bridge the imaginary to the obvious.
