Ellef Creative Projects
60-minute multidisciplinary stage production currently in development.
​​​​​​
​
​
Created and directed by Wendat artist Marie-Michelle Faber, Ayana and the Whispers of the Ancestors is a contemporary Indigenous creation currently in development. The work brings together contemporary circus, music, digital arts, and Indigenous storytelling to explore identity, memory, and intergenerational transmission.
​
Rooted in Indigenous perspectives and contemporary creation, the project seeks to build a bridge between generations while offering audiences an immersive experience where the visible and invisible worlds meet.
​
The envisioned production is planned to feature a cast of 5 to 8 performers, the majority of whom will be Indigenous artists, and to combine original music, innovative circus apparatus, scenography, and interactive visual environments.
​
A one-of-a-kind circus apparatus ​
A research-driven project at the crossroads of acrobatic movement, sculpture, and scenographic innovation.
​
​
Panache Acrobatique ''Acrobatic Antler'' is a project in development exploring the meeting point between acrobatic movement, sculpture, and scenographic innovation.
At once a symbolic structure and a performance apparatus, the Panache draws inspiration from the strength and grace of the deer — a powerful figure in Wendat and Indigenous cosmology.
​
Currently in research and prototyping, the project investigates how a large-scale kinetic structure can move in dialogue with the performer’s body, transforming physical effort into a visual and emotional experience.
​
When Movement Becomes Light
​
​​
​
The Interactive Light Veil is an evolving installation in which light becomes a poetic language.
​
Developed through research and development, the project explores how technology can respond to human presence, transforming gestures into luminous movement. Designed as a modular and adaptable system, the Veil can be integrated into a wide range of contexts, from intimate spaces to outdoor environments, creating immersive experiences shaped by territory, community, or event.
​
Selected for Composite #44 and presented as part of this digital arts showcase organized by Présence Autochtone, Gentilhomme, and MAPP_MTL, the project is part of an innovative approach that connects light, movement, and creative technologies, while weaving bridges between Indigenous knowledge and contemporary creation.
