Discover the creation of infiltration and maneuvering carried out by the duo Massecar • d'Orion: in the summer of 2015, the artists installed a surveillance van behind the DARE-DARE trailer and lived there 24 hours a day like clandestine agents posted in the southwest district of Montreal. Their mission was to disseminate excerpts from the book Fragments d’un discours amoureux by Roland Barthes.
During this workshop, the participants will first discover the clandestine actions collection diary of the artists, the various tools of infiltration and the maneuvers accomplished between July 20 and July 31, 2015. Each person will then be brought to develop their own infiltration and test this proposal in the public space.
In collaboration with the Sud-Ouest borough.

Since the summer of 2015, the interdisciplinary duo Massecar • d'Orion has been producing works that combine approaches in sound creation, practices in a real context and clandestine dramaturgy.
Catherine Lalonde Massecar has been working in the interdisciplinary arts field for fifteen years as an artist-researcher, curator and speaker. She is particularly interested in intimate relationships between the work and the viewer, as well as in relation possibilities. Her action art projects have taken the form of nano-performances, in situ displacements and interactive installations. She has worked with the collective Farine orpheline cherche ailleurs meilleur before funding the Péristyle Nomade in 2006. Since then, she is the artistic director of this organization dedicated to research and creation in new artistic practices in the public space. She holds a master's degree from the Université du Québec à Montréal, whose subject is artistic infiltration and the fragmentation of dramaturgy in urban territory (2011).

He is part of the duo morceaux_de_machines, the trio BOLD (with Alexis Bellavance and Nicolas Bernier) and the trio Napalm Jazz as well as a multitude of had hoc formations. He has played in concert with renowned artists: Evan Parker, Martin Tétreault, Otomo Yoshihide, Robin Fox, Ilpo Vaisanen, Diane Labrosse, Alexandre Saint-Onge, Bernard Falaise, Sam Shalabi, Gunter Muller, eRikm, etc.
