MAKE IT RAIN

In creation in Brussels (2023) and Montreal (2026–2027)

 

There, a Garden of Eden soothes us or sends a chill down our spines; 

There, an intensive monoculture or an open-pit mine, where the human desire to possess, exploit, and reshape clings too closely to us; 

There, the vast emptiness of space and a blank canvas after a journey of initiation, where we can settle in with clarity and exaltation.

 

MAKE IT RAIN is a demanding, radical, and sensitive solo piece rooted in our relationship with spaces—both those we inhabit and those that take shape within us. A woman alone on stage uses a huge piece of fabric to create a play on scale, where skin, florals, and synthetics are poured into different power dynamics. Simplicity and polysemy coexist here through natural, manufactured, and obscure landscapes, in subtle transformations. Marilyn Daoust, with her disarming performance, keeps us spellbound in this hypnotic tale that weaves between mythology and performance. This play reflects the urgency of our century and explores, among other things, the imbalances in class relations, the boundlessness of human aspirations, and the impact of systemic dogmas on women’s bodies. A powerful, unifying work.
