Brigitte Lacasse
Multidisciplinary artist Brigitte Lacasse’s work spans film, film music, musical improvisation, performance art, art direction and cultural mediation. Her creations, tinged with self-mocking irony, are built around social issues that she tackles first and foremost from a personal standpoint. She has to her credit a number of film scores, multidisciplinary happenings, three European musical tours, numerous sound recordings and assorted community-based cultural mediation projects. From 1994 to 2003, she produced feature films by Claude Fortin. Since 2014, she has worked as a cultural mediator at the Musée régional de Rimouski. Hospital(ity) Chronicles is her first film.
