Far from the beaten path, Aurélie Pedron frees herself from the conventions associated with shows to invite us to apprehend reality in a different way. On the edge of installation, choreography and performance, the unusual works she presents in atypical places invite the spectator-participant to lose their bearings and surrender to the transformative experience that is offered.
With the creation of Lilith & Cie in 2013, she invents the spaces of her artistic installations, where she uses the performers’ bodies as conveyors of meaning, revealing invisible images. ENTRE (presented by Tangente, 2014), a nano-performance for one spectator at a time, received the Prix DÉCOUVERTE from the Prix de la danse Montréal 2015. Her latest works are supported by quality partners: LA LOBA (Danse-Cité, 2016) and ANTICHAMBRE (Agora de la Danse, 2019). She is currently working on a 72-hour installation work, INVISIBLE, in collaboration with Montréal Danse and Danse-Cité. In parallel to her creative process, she is teaching the fundamental principles of this work, namely being together through time and movement, to dance communities in several cities of Quebec.
At the same time, Aurélie Pedron undertakes projects with non-dancers and marginalized people with whom she has created micro-performances: RÛE and MARGE (2014-2015) with the support of DARE-DARE Centre de diffusion d’art multidisciplinaire in Montreal, followed by INDEEP, presented in 2016 and 2017, a 10-hour performance for 10 blindfolded youth. Recently she created with Simiuni Nauya, Inuit sculptor, DANS LE CŒUR DU HÉRON, a work that should have been presented in May 2020 at the OFFTA and that was finally shared with the public of Abitibi-Témiscamingue at the Musée d’Art de Rouyn-Noranda in October 2021.
