ÂME NOMADE
Magali Chouinard
Canada/Québec
VISUAL THEATRE
SHOW
Part set and part animated film and video projections, a series of tableaux come to life in the heart of the wilderness. In this landscape of forests and water, a female character encounters her inner identities on a journey of great visual beauty.
Inspired by indigenous spiritualities in which the meaning of life lies in the quest for consciousness, her dreamlike path follows that of the GreatWolf and Raven Spirits, totemic symbols that follow her on her life-changing voyage to the heart of her own being.
Magali Chouinard is a multidisciplinary artist. The female body, movement, presence and interiority lie at the heart of her poetic and visual research. Since 2007, her 30 years of exploration in drawing, sculpture, installation art, performance and writing have been converging towards the art of puppetry and its ability to bring movement to her visual landscape.
