L’amoure looks something like you

texte et mise en scène : Eric Noël
Production ExLibris

Composition, captation et conception sonore
Printemps 2020. Pendant que l’humanité s’isole, un rorqual s’égare dans le fleuve St-Laurent, jusqu’au port de Montréal. Confinée dans son appartement, une personne non binaire s’éprend à distance de cette baleine à bosse. Leur amoure mystique s’ancre au confluent de ce qui nous rattache ou non aux territoires du genre, du vivant et du rituel. À la fois poème dramatique et journal intime, cette lecture-performance cartographie nos mémoires corporelles, sociales et spirituelles.

The Plot

by Emma-Kate Guimond
Performers: Jacqueline Van de Geer, Sarah Chouinard-Poirier, Nien-Tzu Weng

Sound recording composition and sound design
THE PLOT is a video performance that borrows from the aesthetics of a téléthéâtre while cutting through an imagescape reflective of the digital and social media era. The performance features three people reiteratively telling each other about a hypothetical movie plot that also involves three characters: the Protagonist, the Writer, and the Voice Actor (who eventually becomes the Dancer). The movie plot is a psychological thriller and pseudo-revenge fantasy involving artistic collaborators who become competitors and suggestively lovers. Throughout, themes of miscommunication, desire, and consent surface and disappear.
