Émilie Monnet

At the intersection of theatre, performance and media arts, &#201milie Monnet’s practice is centred on collaborative creations. Her work has most often taken the form of interdisciplinary theatre and immersive performance experiences. As a writer, performer, and director, Monnet created Okinum, a piece which is firmly rooted in issues surrounding colonialism and language reclamation. Okinum marked the start of Monnet’s three-year artist residency at Centre du Theatre d’Aujourd’hui and announced her as a major talent in theatre. Both Anishnaabe/Algonquin and French, raised between the Outaouais, Quebec, and Brittany, France, she is now living in Tiohti&#224:ke/Mooniyaang/Montreal. She is the artistic director of Onishka Productions and the new artist-in-residence at Espace GO.
