La forêt des lisses

2020

In the summer of 2020, choreographer Danièle Desnoyers fell under the spell of a parcel of forest nestled along the St. Lawrence River. A place of strange beauty where nature reclaims its rights over the remains of a former shipyard located on Île d’Orléans in the Parc Maritime de Saint-Laurent, La forêt des lisses becomes the setting for a first creation based on landscape scenography.

Created in partnership with the Canada Arts Council, the Conseil des arts et lettres du Québec, the Conseil des arts de Montréal and the Parc maritime de St-Laurent.

The short film is available to subscribers of the Arts.Film platform.
