Hangar des possibles A merry band of artists discovers an abandoned shed, empty and lifeless, on a Montreal street … a street where day-to-day reality meets the worlds of imagination and fantasy. With dreams of breathing new life into the place, they embark on the project together, step by step, colluding and combining their efforts, laughter and conflicts. L’Amour et les extraterrestre A man discovers that the woman he loves is part of a group of aliens that has infiltrated humanity. Like us, they are fragile, experience fear, have dreams. These strangers defy our conceptions of time, space and beauty. Can we coexist on the same planet? And love…. What will become of love? « Breathtaking» – La Presse « How do they manage to get better and better every year?» – 98,5FM « Totally brilliant, very well directed and choreographed!
