In partnership with Festival de Casteliers
Immersive installation performed without interruption
A show presented by CISM
La patience des choses is an immersive visual experiment, neither entirely theatrical nor resolutely performative, which explores objects and matter within systems that make them “puppet-like” through the relationships they create between the elements. An indeterminate, imprecise adventure that leaves room for the unexpected, the accidental, but also, or so it seems, for poetic magic. This is a project that requires an attentiveness to the materials and to what is presented, where artists and audience are invited to find meaning with their eyes, thoughts, and perhaps even their hands and whole body.

Julie Desrosiers designs, crafts and manipulates visual worlds with a focus on exploration and aesthetic language. She seeks to broaden the concept of puppetry, questioning its definition by exploring both the form and meaning of the puppet object, its manipulation and modes of representation.
Vincent Thériault creates performative assemblages that incorporate tools, materials, and contexts. Primarily sound-based, his work is fashioned through improvisation, alone or as part of a collective (MMV2005), computer programming, and installation.
