Nebulae
Le Vitrail, 1254 rue Ste-Marthe
The new show Nebulae by harpist Valérie Milot presents an artistic and philosophical reflection through the science of astral phenomena.
The harp positions itself as a witness to the evolution of humans and their relationship with the universe. From the primary instrument called the lyre which it evokes in a constellation, then transcended by a complex harp with a thousand possibilities; a parallel is drawn between the evolution of art and science.
The human being develops complex tools, expressing what makes him singular, namely to be endowed with artistic expression and scientific understanding. Like this perfected harp, the power of today’s telescopes becomes a tool to dig deeper into human consciousness and push existential questions a little further.
This grandiose and omnipotent journey predisposes a philosophical reflection on existence. Ultimately, the human being adopts a humble positioning in relation to the universe. He becomes autonomous, devoid of all myth and religion, realizing that science is in itself poetry and that he must accept a part of the unknown.
An intimate concert tinged with reflections, humor and intoxicating music will weave a precious bond between the artist and the music lovers. The show is presented in a unique visual environment created by Quebec artisans and artists.
