A poetic and committed show, Vagues et ombres presents original arrangements of pieces by Claude Debussy (including the iconic La Mer), the play Contact by Luna Pearl Woolf, a sound evocation of the underwater world of belugas in the estuary of the Saint-Lawrence RiverLaurent, and Sea Change by Tom Morrison who expresses anxiety about the climate crisis. All wrapped in a delicate shadow decor designed by Mere Phantoms. The program’s album was a Juno Award finalist in 2023.

The nine musicians of collectif9 perform, with the power of an orchestra and the agility of a chamber music ensemble, classical music through an innovative approach offering great evocative power to the audience. This multidisciplinary project with Chinese shadows will once again celebrate our special relationship with the St. Lawrence River.
