Infrarouge - Marie Brassard - Violence

How is children's innocence transformed by the darkness of adulthood? In her new, strikingly fairytale-like, dreamlike work, Canadian artist Marie Brassard contemplates the notion of time and humans' gradual exposure to violence as they grow up. Using an imaginative observation of her two-year-old goddaughter as a starting point, the director creates a hybrid performance, combining aspects of cinematic realism and expressionist theatre, sound arts and visual arts.

With Greek and English surtitles
