Saturday and Sunday March 10 & 11, 2007, from noon to 3 pm
At articule, 262 Fairmount O., Montréal
An interactive sound experience to make you feel better! In collaboration with Studio 303, as part of the Edgy Women Festival www.edgywomen.ca
In the first part of her two-part project, Alexis brings her 'sympathy suit' to articule. You are invited to express your worries, sorrows and fears, as she literally offers you a shoulder to cry on. In return, Alexis responds personally, and the costume plays back empathetic soundscapes. Your wœs are recorded (with your permission), and sourced for a live performance that will take place on March 16th at the Sala Rossa.
Active in the Montreal arts scene since ten years, Alexis O'Hara has kept busy, dividing her time between three parallel artistic pursuits: spoken word, sound art and live action art. She performs dazzling feats of social engineering with participatory art actions and paints elaborate landscapes with her words.
