A site filled with light
Not even the most experienced urban explorers will recognize the Quartier des
spectacles this winter! For one thing, it's never been this colourful
and brilliantly illuminated. The festival will help us all re-discover our fave
spots—from De Bleury to St-Urbain and De Maisonneuve to Ste-Catherine—thanks
to progressive architectural lighting, created by Marc Tétreault and Jean Laurin, illuminating buildings and
public spaces in varied ways; for example, emphasizing their vertical or horizontal
lines.
Most of
our installations and activities will also feature special lighting: the LED
panel stage, perfectly suited to both artists' performances and dynamic
light displays, the excitingly original light installations,
interactive boxes that distort images, an astonishing photomaton, video
mapping stations, an interactive
laser that projects works created by festival fans onto the Wilder
building, an illuminated multicoloured dancefloor, the gaze of
gigantic eyes, following us from atop their screens, the iridescent colours of the
enormous sphere and domes,
the illuminated Ferris Wheel,
and of course the luminous, multicoloured and thoroughly mindblowing
Slide. You'll even see illuminated characters strolling around the site!
This playful use of lighting will reach its zenith with the mega-projection
À propos de Stern, which will bring the
east wall of the Maison du Festival Rio Tinto Alcan to life. This
audiovisual spectacle created by Geodezik and Marc Leclair will be
presented three times nightly, every night during the festival, transforming, distorting,
transfiguring and deconstructing the building with video-mapping techniques. In
practical terms, the façade will come to life with spectacular projections
creating movement, characters reminiscent of those by Magritte, or even those from
Alice in Wonderland and Star Wars, and droll, hilarious or even
psychedelic scenarios. Get set for a stunning and innovative visual adventure that
promises to be a real eyeful!
