The performance will be on July 13 and 14 at 2:00 pm at the Biosphère.
A unique vocal performance in conversation between two multidisciplinary artists: Rhodnie Désir and Kama La Mackerel.
As part of the TÈ (territory) series, which explores the link between the natural sciences and art, Rhodnie Désir is anchored in the heart of the Biosphère Museum: a veritable Montreal heritage site.
Blending architecture and nature, space-time is the meeting point here. Confidence meets conversation to offer a unique listening experience inspired by the collection of testimonies gathered by the two artists.
The magic of Kama La Mackerel's words and Rhodnie Désir's vocal composition create a poetic installation dedicated to remembrance. Between two seasons, they present their manifesto at the heart of the Biosphère.
