Persephone is a polyptych work that unfolds in several parts: a short film, a multimedia installation and different forms of performances. Within the framework of Artch, Persephone becomes a site-specific performance involving the use of human-sized puppets. As a rereading of the Greek myth, the visual dramaturgy of Persephone questions the mother-daughter transmission.

Emilie Racine is a director and puppeteer. Recipient of the prize for the best thesis-creation of her Master’s program in Theater at UQAM (2013), Emilie is passionate about a visual dramaturgy that is filled with a dreamlike and poetic qualities. Her shows (un)sewn, Les Mariés Corbeaux and Céleste have been shown in several festivals in Quebec and abroad (Festival de Casteliers, Festival International des Arts de la Marionnette de Saguenay, Festival Mondial des théâtres de marionnettes de Charleville-Mézières, Festival cultural de Mayo, etc.). In 2016, she collaborated with Théâtre Incliné (as an assistant director and fabricator of puppets) for the show Nordicité at the Nordland Visual Theatre in Norway. In 2017, she founded Collectif Pi, which was a laureate of the silver medal in the giant puppet category at the 8th Jeux de la Francophonie in the Ivory Coast, where they showed L’Histoire de Pi, an adaptation of the novel by Yann Martel. This was followed by many artistic collaborations with African festivals, including Marché des Arts du Spectacle Africain in Abidjan, the Journées des Arts de la Marionnette in Carthage and the RDV Chez Nous Festival à Bamako. Having received financial support and grants from national and international institutions, Emilie is the co-founder of the theatre company Territoire 80, with which she has initiated two international co-productions: Habite-moi, a Brazil-Canada co-production presented in Brazil (2018), and Le Chat Pèlerin, a Mali-Canada-France co-production presented at the Institut Français in Dakar (2022). Emilie teaches stage design at the Ste-Hyacinthe CÉGEP and at UQAM’s École supérieure de théâtre. As a doctoral candidate in art practices at UQAM under the supervision of Marie-Christine Lesage and Manon De Pauw, Emilie received the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship in 2022.
