OFF FLUX Double Concert: Ensemble Déplacer d’l’air with Nour Symon + Julie Richard/Liberté Anne /Yesenia Fuentes (with After Party)

Ensemble Déplacer d’l’air premieres their collective work “Dans les ombres dansent des figures lumineuses” with live painting by Nour Symon.

Julie Richard, Liberté Anne and Yesenia Fuentes come together around a sensitive practice of transformation. Their works emerge from listening and attentiveness to the living: sounds, gestures, memories, bodies, and legacies converse in a shared space where every form becomes a passage. Together, they create a porous territory where the boundaries between disciplines dissolve, giving way to shared experience that embraces risk and care as a creative force.

Julie Richard is a musician, composer, and cultural worker. A trained tubist, she bridges improvised music, collective memory, and social justice. Her approach explores the evocative power of breath and archives, particularly in Les Angles Mortes, where she revives fragments of forgotten works by Black women composers. Her music is a reparative gesture, a space of resonance, and an invitation to transformative listening from past to present.

Liberté Anne is a composer, performer, and conductor. Her practice, rooted in deep listening and spontaneity, draws from sonic traditions, physical environments, and movement. Through projects like Liberté Big Band and FROTAE, she cultivates collaborative musical forms grounded in social awareness and sensory imagination. Her musical work becomes a space of radical exploration, where every sound carries memory, tension, and transformation.

Yesenia Fuentes is a contemporary dancer, choreographer, and Butoh practitioner, born in Bogotá and based in Montréal. Her choreographic practice is inspired by dreams, inner architecture, and bodily memory. Through slowness, gentleness, and risk-taking, she explores the connections between movement and social change. Her work is rooted in introspection, embodiment as a healing process, and openness to forms of knowledge anchored in sensory experience.

After Party(!): An after party will take place at the Casa del Popolo at 21h30 with Alex Pelchat presenting a tribute to Donald Miller (Borbetomagus) with Érick d’Orion, Jean Derome & Naomi McCarroll Butler. Free entry for ticket holders of the Ensemble Déplacer d’l’air concert.
