Celebration of Entomophilia with Claudia Chan Tak

Описание: Claudia Chan Tak, a multidisciplinary artist trained in visual arts and dance, and winner of an artist residency offered jointly by the Insectarium and the Conseil des arts de Montréal, presented the results of her creative project at the new Espace Transmission on October 24, 25 and 26, 2024.

Her choreographic project, The Longing of the Malagasy Butterfly, Claudia aims to explore her origins and understand the country of her ancestors (Madagascar) through the prism of insects, whose beauty she magnifies. The proposal combines installation, movement and video projection. The public will also get to discover the artist’s creative process through a video installation.

“I want to create an intimate world reminiscent of the emotion I felt when I saw the collections of naturalized insects on display in the Insectarium Dôme, while drawing my inspiration from the insects of Madagascar. The movements in my choreography will be infused with the distinct characteristics of these creatures, personifying their bodies, their movements and even their personalities.”

A Celebration of Entomophilia
In keeping with its mission to promote insects, the Insectarium supports artistic creations inspired by the rich and surprising world of insects. The public performance resulting from this residency is part of the Insectarium’s Celebrations of Entomophilia, a series of off-site events designed to promote the appreciation of insects, essential to the balance of nature.

The Celebrations seek to inspire creators from different disciplines, who then pass on their findings, vision and enthusiasm to the public. Recent Celebrations have spawned creations in gastronomy, visual arts and electronic music.
