HUGO DALPHOND
Hugo Dalphond questions synergy between body, space and light through elaborating and building scenographic devices. It is principally by making viewers and performers coexist within a same space, and by modulating their perception of that space that it creates alternative sensory experiences. This distinction is made in different co-presence qualities, and thus, the gain of our interactions and relationship with others.
Since 2015, he tackles these issues in a PhD. His work is related to space and its potential to become a refuge where it is permitted to experiment with the world under other sensorial modalities.
JONATHAN SAUCIER
Canadian multidisciplinary artist, Jonathan Saucier works primarily as a set and costume designer for dance and circus. His artistic approach is centered around creating scenic ecosystems, performative spaces oscillating between reality and fiction, acknowledging the human, its inner conflicts and social behaviors. Since graduating from École Supérieure de Théâtre de l’UQAM in may 2014, Jonathan is privileged to create with many of Montreal's innovative contemporary dance scene figures. His work can be experienced through the shows of Alexandre Morin, Sébastien Provencher and Andrea Peña with whom he collaborates closely since 2022. By exploring the complexities of the identity and the ways it can be shaped by cultural norms and by juxtaposing elements in close proximity in order to
create dynamic and contrasting effects, his designs aim to nurture environments that allow for new ways of thinking and feeling. Through these techniques, he is encouraging the audience to question their assumptions and beliefs by fostering a greater understanding of the relationship between space, culture and identity. Lately his work has been on stage at the Venice Biennale with Bogotà by Andrea Peña & Artists and part of the Montreal FTA festival with Floreus by Sébastien Provencher.
