« we had 48h to capture acrobatic poses in 3D and create a video to present in front of Cirque du Soleil employees »
it was such an honour to direct the unparalleled talent of legends @ellef.creative & @thomasparentt as part of a 3D scan workshop at @cirquedusoleil 2025 innovation fest

Worked with @cirquedusoleil and @ellef.creative on this one. Simple idea, strong visuals.
Big thanks to @antsif for hooking it up!

👁 Parmi les projets sélectionnés du Composite #44 présenté par Présence Autochtone x Gentilhomme x MAPP_MTL à Gentilhomme à Gentilhomme découvrez la minuteVoile de lumière interactif de Marie-Michelle Faber @ellef.creative
🎟️ Billets gratuits (places limitées) : lien en bio
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝘁: Le projet explore la rencontre entre corps, lumière et technologie à travers un dispositif immersif : un voile de lumière qui réagit aux gestes et aux déplacements. Grâce à un capteur de mouvement et à des projections numériques en temps réel, le spectateur peut « toucher » la lumière, la traverser et déclencher des images vivantes qui fusionne ses mouvements. Ce voile devient à la fois une frontière et un passage, un espace poétique où l’imaginaire prend forme dans la matière lumineuse. Inspiré des récits et symboles autochtones, le projet questionne la mémoire, le lien à l’invisible et la place du spectateur comme co- créateur de l’œuvre. Il s’agit d’une recherche scénique et technologique qui ouvre un champ d’expérimentation pour les arts vivants, favorisant une expérience sensorielle et collective unique.
𝗕𝗶𝗼: Je suis Marie-Michelle Faber, artiste multidisciplinaire wendat et fondatrice d’Ellef. Après vingt ans sur scène comme acrobate et chanteuse au Cirque du Soleil, j’ai orienté ma carrière vers la conception acrobatique et la recherche techno-artistique. Mon travail se situe à la croisée des arts vivants, des technologies immersives et de la mémoire autochtone. J’explore comment la lumière, le mouvement et les projections interactives peuvent devenir vecteurs de récits identitaires. Mon approche vise à créer des expériences collectives porteuses de sens, où l’innovation technologique dialogue avec la tradition et 1 ouvre des espaces de rencontre poétique.

“the biggest challenge was finding poses that our artists could hold for three minutes while I scanned them from every angle” 🤳🤸

I am deeply honoured to be featured in Cirque of Creativity by Caitlan Maggs. 🤍
Seeing my journey, my voice, and my work reflected in these pages is incredibly moving. This book speaks of creativity as something living, intuitive, and brave, and I feel truly grateful to be part of that conversation.
Thank you Caitlan for your sensitivity, your vision, and for taking the time to truly see artists and their paths.
Grateful. Inspired. Still in awe.

I’m so honoured I got to share and exchange with Guilhem at @tapisrougepodcast and to you all who will take the time to listen ☺️
My Cirque life has been a huge & important part of my life*
It was my school, my playground, my home for over 20 years on the road, I grew up from a young teen-adult to becoming a mother.
Today, I can pursue my passion through sharing my knowledge and guiding artists as a acro/artistic coach (online and in-person) and through my jewelry @ellef.jewelry as well as a mentor to aerial yoga teachers with @airyogalates
Being a mother on top of all these hats, It can sometimes be a challenge to coordinate, but as a family, we manage to find the flow* 🙃 #circuslife #circuseverydamnday #cirquedusoleil #cirqueway #cirquejourney #quidam #corteocirquedusoleil #amalunacirquedusoleil #mystory #mylife #mypassion
This is a rehearsal from a long long LONG TIME ago for an event in Monaco with Cirque du Soleil.
I felt like sharing it 💗
