Laboratoire [à ciel] ouvert

Catherine Lalonde Massecar

Through the distribution of poetic mathematical formulas and artistic scores to be implemented at La Halte and in the streets of the neighborhood, the artist invites you to freely explore the various forms that the interpretation of these suggested formulas can take, or to create new ones.

Catherine Lalonde Massecar

Catherine Lalonde Massecar has been working in the field of interdisciplinary arts for some fifteen years, as an artist-researcher and instigator of projects involving material and immaterial forms in the real world. Her proposals oscillate between collaborative artist/community creations in Montreal's Centre-Sud district (where she founded Péristyle Nomade) and experimental and infiltration projects in multiform locations (solo and with Duo Massecar-d'Orion). She holds a Master's degree in theater from UQAM, with a thesis on artistic infiltration and the fragmentation of dramaturgy in urban territory (2011). She is currently completing a doctorate in arts studies and practice (2024), focusing on the Opéra-Manœuvre to explore the paradoxical and unpredictable encounter between artistic maneuvering and the concept of opera, in order to amplify the relationship to the world.
