Traverse
2018 / Canada / 13 min
Traverse weaves the stories of five women into a tapestry of collective experience as they journey, confronting obstacles along the way. Through this process of reflection in motion, a powerful sense of strength is ignited.
Hubris
2023 / Canada / 29 min
Hubris is an experimental docu-narrative that chronicles three individual journeys interpreted by dance and circus artists, exploring a powerful storyline about climate change. Blinded by ego, their journeys symbolize the collateral damage induced by a culture deeply rooted in individualism—serving as a metaphor for our environmental crisis and a need for a U-turn towards transformative change.
Branché
2023 / Canada / 16 min
Through unique, female-driven circus and movement art, Branché traverses time and lush natural landscapes of Quebec in a poetic exploration of our potential to work in harmony with nature in the face of the rising conflicts and chaos of the climate crisis. As diminishing resources and livable land drive an existential collapse, the daring three-high formations and breathtaking falls remind us that a oneness of nature and humanity is undoubtedly worth preserving.
