CONTES ET LÉGENDES DU NORD DES POSSIBLES

Tales and legends of the North of possibilities is a research-creation process within the citizen community of a green alley in the city of Montreal. This process aims to answer this question : How to create - through theater - an imaginary of the socio-ecological transition ?
In the fall of 2022, the green community of the North of Possibilities in the Rosemont-la-petite-patrie district will see artists, ecologists, and scientific popularizers take over the site in order to collect testimonies, stories and citizen concerns. These are the starting points of a series of artistic exploration laboratories from which will be born the first texts of an imaginary of the socio-ecological transition of this environment: Tales and legends of the North of the possible. I will explore the themes of belonging to the territory, the narratives of nature and eco-citizenship within a committed community.
