🎧 Optimal experience with headphones

Every evening from July 24 to September 28, 2025, discover Reflets dansants, a free light trail in Marsoui, Haute-Gaspésie.

Imagined by Julie Dalbec, this 25-minute luminous journey is composed of dancing images taken from works in the Regards Hybrides Collection and reworked by video artist Sonya Stefan. Reflets dansants is projected onto two historic buildings: La Couquerie and the Church in the heart of the village of Marsoui. Each luminous projection constitutes a moment of great visual and choreographic narrative, shimmering with the grandeur and living light of the Gaspésie territory. Reflets dansants is a digital experience in which video images and contemporary dance merge with everyday landscapes.
