Vivre La Ville - The Living City
Living City "live" - Collaboration & audience participation.

This event took place as part of Montreal's biggest night of culture and visual art - Nuit Blanche, on March 2nd, 2013. It took place at the MainLine theater as part of Art Matter's //IN BETWEEN\\ festival: https://www.facebook.com/events/465811323491691/ (application included a juried competition.)

The artwork took place in three spaces: a cinematic space, with a video projected and theater seating, a mysterious reception room, where guides invited audience members to participate, a secret backstage story collecting room, and live collective video creation onsite. There were 3 cycles which included intermittent screenings of collected stories and 3 storycollecting participatory performance rounds.
