To close the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal, designer Danielle Roy launched a crazy challenge to Luc PETIT: to bring together nearly 800 festival-goers and transform them into street artists for one evening.
After 10 days of intensive preparatory workshops during which they created costumes, accessories and makeup, learned to manipulate lighting and walk with Mr. Zo and took percussion lessons supervised by Samajam, they joined local and international artists in order to offer a grandiose carnival to a crowd of more than 100,000 spectators.
A true hymn to the nature of Quebec, this parade where we see pieces of forests, lakes and icebergs unraveling, fish jumping and animals dancing, also welcomes a man, a 51-foot giant who carries the future within him .
A great popular festival and a successful bet thanks to these dreamers. The Grand Charivarir… A madness in reverse of winter.
