BÉNÉDICTE ˖⁺. ༶ ⋆˙FLAVIE (2026)
Bénédicte and Flavie join forces for the first time to deliver a performance in which light, smoke, wind, and sound interact in real time. Enveloped in a dense haze, the audience is drawn into a contemplative and hypnotic state, where shifting textures and ambient soundscapes blur the boundaries between the real and the sensory — between what is seen, heard, and felt.
Bénédicte
Bénédicte is the musical project of Montreal-based producer and sound artist Maxime Gordon. In her music she carefully crafts and combines soaring synths, distorted field recordings and glittering vocal samples to explore moments of introspection and emotion. She has performed internationally and at leading Montreal-based festivals and venues including MUTEK, SAT, AKOUSMA, and PHI.
Alongside her musical practice, she works extensively in spatial sound and sound art, with multichannel works presented on systems such as 4DSOUND and the SAT Satosphère. She has participated in residencies with PRIM x Codes d’accès, CULTVR in Cardiff, and the Spatial Sound Institute in Budapest, and has also composed for contemporary dance and cinema. In 2021 she released the EP ‘When It Binds’ on Blueberry Records and is currently working on her follow-up EP with support from the Canada Council for the Arts.
Flavie Lemée
Flavie Lemée is a transdisciplinary artist and lighting designer based in Tiotia:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. She explores the writing of space and time through ephemeral materials such as light, smoke, water, and wind, creating sensorial experiences in which the audience becomes an active participant. Rooted in dreamlike aesthetics, her practice draws on natural phenomena, cinema, and photography to transform the intangible into immersive landscapes, where color, smoke, and shadow merge to produce fleeting images that oscillate between order and chaos, tension and fluidity.
Alongside her work in video and photography, Flavie regularly collaborates on theatre and music projects. Grounded in a phenomenological and technopoetic approach, her practice interrogates perception and the ecology of sensation, offering contemplative spaces capable of transforming both the individual and the collective.
