Année de recherche et de création : 2023
Première mondiale : 2023, Musée de la Biosphère, Espace pour la vie (Montréal, Canada)
Spécialistes rencontrés : 1 météorologue, 1 danseuse, 1 archélogue et six spécialistes
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, a Space for life 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.

Symphony of hearts
“There are many beautiful tableaux. The creator knows how to make ingenious use of the scenic elements at her disposal - from almost nothing, she creates universes, fills in the gaps.” - La Presse (Canada)
“What is gained here, in this Symphony of Hearts, is an art of influences and benevolence carried by the multiple identities of bodies and minds that want peace.” - JEU magazine (Canada)
