The festival will be celebrating the unveiling of Reflets dansants, a 25-minute light trail in Marsoui imagined by Julie Dalbec. Every evening from July 24 to September 28, 2025, from dusk onwards, audiences will have the chance to discover this new Mandoline Hybride production, free of charge.
Dancing images, taken from works in the Regards Hybrides Collection and reworked by video artist Sonya Stefan, will be projected onto two historic buildings: La Couquerie and the church in the heart of the village of Marsoui.
Each luminous projection will constitute a moment of great visual and choreographic narrative, shimmering with the grandeur and living light of the Gaspesian territory. Reflets dansants will offer a digital experience in which video images and contemporary dance merge with everyday landscapes.
With over twenty years’ experience in television, immersive content creation and branding, Julie Dalbec is a producer and art director renowned for her keen sense of innovation, creativity and project management. Passionate about digital art, she has always sought to learn, explore and push the boundaries of her craft.
An executive producer in branded content, she recently turned to multimedia production, broadening her field of expertise. At the same time, she is developing her role as artistic director and curator of digital art, affirming her artistic vision.
Driven by a quest for ever more creative experiences, she now holds two complementary mandates: program director of Hub Montréal, a not-to-be-missed meeting place for digital art, and artistic producer-director of Reflets dansants, a luminous journey anchored in the Gaspé village of Marsoui, where she unites her passion for creation with her deep attachment to this territory (Photo : Melany Bernier)
Sonya Stefan performed at the 25th anniversary of MUTEK with Technologies of Consciousness on the project Numinous Machines and will present it at MANIFEST:IO, the symposium for new media and electronic art in Berlin. She blends analog techniques, intertwining 16mm film with TouchDesigner to craft visual landscapes, using contact printing, DIY eco-processing, and macro nature image capture. Stefan is recognized for her dance documentaries, particularly for her film The Truss Arch, which earned an IRIS nomination and won Best National Medium-Length Film at the Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal (RIDM) in 2021 and Rendezvous Québec Cinéma in 2022. Her collaborations include Animals of Distinction, Petrikor Danse, and Newton Moraes Dance Theatre. (Photo : Frédérique Ménard-Aubin)
