texuvie is an installation-performance project in development by dance artist Léonie Bélanger and visual artist Éloi Angers-Roy. Weaving - its flexibility, its perishability, its practice - inspires their research.
In their process, digital image and gesture usurp textile fiber. These two raw materials intertwine in a choreographic weaving ritual aided by a technological device custom-designed by the artificial studio.
They enter a residency to explore new installation possibilities and pursue their creative work.

Léonie Bélanger
Dance artist based in Tiohtià :ke/Mooniyang/Montréal, Léonie Bélanger completed a bachelor's degree in contemporary dance at the UQÀM (2021) and has since pursued a career as a performer and creator. She has worked with Caroline Laurin-Beaucage, Catherine Lavoie-Marcus, Danièle Desnoyers/Le Carré des Lombes, Chélanie Beaudin-Quintin and Alejandro Sajgalik, among others. Léonie gravitates towards an expanded practice of the body, which leads her to explore collaborative, interdisciplinary and digital forms of work. In her creative work, she seeks to understand how the body can bridge different realities, both lived and imagined. Since 2021, she has been exploring the notion of the digital body as she pursues research at the intersection of dance, visual art and digital art with interdisciplinary artist Éloi Angers-Roy. She is also presenting : L’Absolu est absurde (2022), Égo et cheval : acte 2 (2023), Corps. Route. Ride. (2023) and ALTERMUNDI (2024), hybrid creations of dance, improvisation and science fiction by the Projet Alterdogs collective, which she co-directs with Claire Pearl.
Éloi Angers-Roy
A native of Tiohtiá:ke / Montréal, Éloi Angers-Roy strives to explore the social dimension of artistic creation and appreciation. He questions the roles and power games generated by Western art systems through an aesthetic search for saturation and excess. His most recent work focuses on the development of a two-dimensional animation technique centered on the viscous materiality of oil paint and its fluid, impermanent character. Halfway between theory-creation and poetic wandering, his practice is characterized by a constant willingness to question through collaboration.
