Ginette Trépanier
Invited by Ginette Trépanier (visual artist and poet); Antidote performed during 2003-4-5-6 at several art exhibition openings, at the presentation of the "Saint-Denys Garneau International Prize" for poetry and visual art, and during the "Biennale internationale du livre d'artise en Lanaudière" and "Les Voix du Nord". This experience permitted them the opportunity of promoting their music in a stimulating artistic environment. Recently they composed the music for two theatrical-poetic performances of works by Jean-Paul Daoust and Brigitte Purkhardt (Ginette Trépanier : coordinateur).
Les
Productions Flamenco Montréal
An ongoing exchange with Sarah
Vincent (dancer, singer, choreographer and artistic director of "Les
Productions Flamenco Montréal") was concretized in their
participation in two productions: "Mémoires de l'Indus" in
2003, and "Flamenco & Folk" in 2001.
Both composing and interpreting music for these
shows permitted the duo to flirt with the powerful and exciting spirit
of flamenco music and play at the prestigious Montréal
venues: "Théâtre de la Verdure" and "La
Bibliothéque Nationale du Québec" as well as
"Théâtre du Marais" in the Laurentians.

An appreciation for the complexities of blending music with poetry was acquired by the duo when working with France Bonneau (poet) in 1999 on a production "Fragments de vie…Paroles infatigables" performed at the Place des Arts, Montréal. Pauline continued to accompany France in 2005-6 during three performances of "Au Bout de l'Exile" (poetry/theatre).
