I STILL CAN LOVE, I STILL CAN FEEL

Nearly two weeks since the end of Rencontre internationale d'art performance / RIAP and I'm just starting to regain some form of normality after these intense weeks.

I feel deeply privileged to be able to extend this great legacy that is the RiAP. I was particularly touched by this edition, not only by the incredible artists it has brought together, but especially by the human generosity shown every moment.

A huge thank you to the whole team of the Lieu, and especially to Geneviève Roy A wink also to my friends who have lended a helping hand, including Étienne Boulanger Hugo Nadeau II Christian Bujold , Michelle Lacombe and so many others. And of course, thank you to all the artists of the RiAP 2024 lineup.

Since the festival is over, I'm taking time to breathe and get back on my feet. Strengthening a community and perpetuating such a legacy doesn't happen overnight (and especially not alone! ), but I feel lucky to be surrounded well to achieve it.

In these photos, I'm on the run in the woods, looking for some energy, still on the lookout for performance.
