Les voix humaines

From May 5 to 16, DAÏMÔN is pleased to welcome Les voix humaines, a digital arts installation created by Larissa Corriveau and coproduced by Espace Libre. You are invited to delve into the memories of the iconic Quebec actress Monique Miller and to encounter the many characters who bear her likeness.

These voix humaines (in english; human voices), with Monique Miller as their guiding thread, awaken the ghosts of some of Quebec’s greatest television works and draw you into the labyrinth of her memory.

The 38 minute presentation is shown on loop.
Kindly book your place through one of our 2 hour approximative visiting blocs.

See you there!

“The initial idea was to write a film in which we enter the dream of a great actress who sets out to meet the characters she has embodied in the past.

But the story evolved, and the form changed as Monique Miller and I got to know each other.

And over the years, we lost ourselves in the intricacies of this story, which revealed an unexpected secret to us: it is possible to resist the belief that efficiency and productivity are the only acceptable ways to think, create, and live.

Perhaps that is what Les voix humaines is all about: the story of a desire to search without knowing if there is even anything to find.”
