L’Orchestre d’hommes-orchestres invites you to embark on their CONVOI made of five vehicles, a kind of mobile museum which takes the shape of a fleet of prepared-vehicles presenting a collection of souvenirs from travellers accumulated throughout years of travelling in squats and other places that we defy the property. Each station “tells a story” or even more, it bears a trace, linked or not to the others. It belongs to the public to pull the strings…
Trucks, trailers and cars which are usually used to travel, will become the places where the visitors will enter and stop or leave for a journey towards unexpected imaginary worlds. They are exhibition spaces as well as listening posts, automatic machines, mobile cinemas, living spaces.
It is indeed a real living space for the team of L’Orchestre d’hommes-orchestres LODHO and their guests who live on the site, work there and occupy it 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Are they characters, are they real? Are they acting? Are they spectacular individuals with strange habits or excellent comedians? Come and experience whenever you wish so, between the September 6 to 12, moments out of the ordinary life in the travellers camp site and every day, from 5 pm. to 10 pm., the characters will be in action for performances in the LODHO style (music, cinema, text, theater of objects…)
Every day from 5pm to 10pm, the team and the whole installation come alive and on 5pm will happen suprises en special events. These events will be announced day to day starting on September 5 (photo session « Special Calendar » open to all, the card game of the four oldest and greatest bluffers of Montreal …) Catch with us on Facebook for all the infos…
