M. Gros

Mr. Big Evolutional and protean work, 2020– This new piece is inspired by the Canadian investigative technique known as Mr. Big whereby an undercover police officer obtains the confession of a suspect in an unsolved serious crime.  M. Gros is an attempt to stage a contemporary artistic flora, using spy scripts executed by shape-shifting characters, living sculptures, dual weapons and an eclectic sound environment.  A performance that addresses identity issues related to surveillance, infiltration, wiretapping, theft of ideas and copying while recalling the classics of investigative games. Presented in partnership with the Phénomena festival and gallery Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain. M.Gros's creation was made possible thanks to the financial support of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and the Canada Council for the Arts.
