La Canopée (2019)

Performance for the Museum of Contemporary arts - MAC Montreal

We are an unpredictable canopy. The life of treetops shaped by hope. We have a never-ending possibility of growth, dedicated to happy or unhappy times. We move without permission. We are a reminder of what holds us up when there is nothing to hold on to.
