MOKATEK ET L’ÉTOILE DISPARUE – A public reading
For little Mokatek, counting the stars at night is a real pleasure. Ever since his mother disappeared beneath the waters of the river, he likes to recount his days to the star that shines brightest in the sky, his compass that protects him from above: the North Star. One full moon, the North Star disappears. This marks the start of a journey of initiation to find the shining star, and to discover the strength and courage he carries within himself. A quest towards himself, towards his origin, guided by the spirit of sounds and animals.
Artistic director of French-language Aboriginal company Productions Ondinnok, Dave Jenniss is also an actor, director, playwright and screenwriter. Since 2008, he has been recognized for his writing, which is touchingly true to his Wolastoqey identity.

JORDANE
Jordane reveals her strength and vulnerability through her indie pop songs, which are both committed and poetic. With her imaginative lyrics, warm voice, strong interpretation and feminine vision, she speaks of sisterhood, mutual aid, wounds, nature and resilience. Her music is intimate, carried by contrasting arrangements, both in terms of dynamics and stylistic choices. Now accompanying herself on the keyboard, Jordane is a complete artist, who speaks for women of her age with heart and intelligence.
Her latest album, Reine de papier, released in April 2022, has garnered over 200,000 views of her music videos, and her musical releases have racked up nearly a million listens across platforms.

IN-BEAUTY
This in situ hip-hop show questions the parameters of the female gender through its choreographic language, rooted in Hip Hop. Taking street furniture as their starting point, the 4 performers push their physical abilities and revisit the codes of street dance. Nourished by the different venues in which she performs, the choreographer creates a space where spectators are invited to experience the energy of street dance in close proximity to their bodies.
