  • Ce qui nous [dé]lie
    Feb 24 2023

    Ce qui nous [Dé]lie parle de tricot. Le tricot comme savoir faire que des générations de femmes se sont transmis les unes aux autres; le tricot de nos aïeules face aux tricot des jeunes d'aujourd'hui et enfin, le tricot comme le lien que l'artiste entretient avec sa grand-mère afin de nous raconter leurs histoires respectives. Réunissant narration, témoignages et création sonore, ce podcast est une œuvre à part entière qui dialogue avec une performance artistique. 

    Lors de cette performance, l'artiste Marcy Petit détricote sur scène une robe rouge précédemment tricotée, jusqu'à ce qu'il n'en reste rien d'autre qu'une toile d'araignée rouge. Par cette alliance de l'audio et du visuel, l'œuvre finale se veut une réminiscence ainsi qu'une remise en question de cet héritage légué par nos aïeules.

    Le podcast existe également en version anglaise.

    La performance est disponible en vidéo et en ligne sur Vimeo: Marcy Petit
