A/Visions
An Immersive Theater
August 23 & 24 | Théâtre Maisonneuve in Place des Arts
Sensorial, large-scale audiovisual works that fuse image, sound and innovation are at the heart of the two A/Visions programs.
Water symphony, light choreography and artificial intelligence take us from the Italian Renaissance to futuristic cinemascapes to a cosmogonic myth.
