Soleil Launière

An Innu originally from Mashteuiatsh on the shores of Lake Pekuakami, Soleil Launière lives and works in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal). A multidisciplinary artist combining song, movement and theater while passing through performance art, she intertwines the presence of the two-spirited body and experimental audiovisual while being inspired by the cosmogony and sacred spirit of the animals of the Innu world. This year, she makes her musical debut with a laboratory performance from her upcoming debut album. With musicians Geneviève Toupin, Chloé Lacasse, Vincent Carré and Simon Walls, she explores a world of rhythm and vocal harmonies in themes of language identity, femininity and matriarchy. An intriguing and striking new project.
