Marc Bourdeau

2023

Piano-Soleil is a hybrid of Classical music video and dance film set in paradisiacal natural reserves in Brazil. The explosive  – yet lyrical – piano piece by Canadian composer Denis Gougeon is the framework for a dreamlike and experimental reflection on the preservation of the environment and our need for space and expression spotlighted by the recent pandemics. 

The project is an international collaboration between Brazilian filmmaker Caio Amon, choreographer/dancer Camila Vergara and Canadian pianist Marc Bourdeau, who interprets the music of his fellow countryman.
