MEET IN JUNE 2022 !
2021
More than 60 artists from Quebec and around the world showcased 21 artworks in 40 places across the city.
Ambushes
Like the works of art along the route, the performing arts infiltrated the urban space to cultivate the strange, the unexpected, and the hard-to-believe, walking the line between real and imaginary, true and false.
On tour
14 circulating works from PASSAGES INSOLITES traveled to other cities in Quebec and Canada, as a means of promoting its artists, achievements, and expertise in designing and presenting temporary public artworks. This year alone, Longueuil, Trois-Rivières, Terrebonne, Montreal, and Gatineau (as part of its Sentier Culturel initiative) hosted works initially conceived and presented in Quebec City for PASSAGES INSOLITES.
