Julie Basse - portrait
Myriam Allard
Faithful collaborator of many pioneers theater directors in Montreal, such as Félix-Antoine Boutin, Maxime Carbonneau, or Jean-Philippe Baril-Guérard, this lighting designer trained at the National Theater School of Canada. Basse also ventures with talent with dance companies (La Otra Orilla, In her living room), opera (Opéra de Montréal, Pacific Opera Victoria, Edmonton Opera, Lafayette Opera Washington) and music (Alex Nevsky, Lisa Leblanc, Jason Bajada, Plants and Animal, Dead Obies). Inspired by all her surroundings, in the theater, in the museum or in the street, always in search of accuracy, she uses the light on stage to direct the regard, to create gently enveloping atmospheres, but also to sublimate space, to give each moment a dazzling, unique character.
With Moment Factory, she signs the lighting design for the "Vallea Lumina" light path in a forest in Whistler, British Columbia.
