What interested and motivated you to design the set for the road opera Alexandra? Tell us about your process and what inspires you?
I’ve known about Alexandra David-Néel since childhood. I met Pauline Vaillancourt in 2002, during a residency at the Studio du Québec à New York. Pauline’s tenacity and audacity in exploring theatrical and musical dimensions is something I admire. The thought of working on articulating a scenic space also pleased me because my installations are conceived as pathways that offer a visual and sensory experience which also encourages the viewer to move through the space.

Opera, long considered the total art form, brings together all the scenic arts into a perfect artistic synthesis. And when Chants Libres creates opera, it becomes a total art form with extras, pushing the limits of opera to its farthest reaches.
“Creativity is an essential art form” — Pauline Vaillancourt
