MELKIOR COLLECTIVE
CONTEMPORARY MYTHOLOGY - AERIAL ARTS, MOVEMENT, ARTISTIC DIRECTION, SET DESIGN
an artistic entity under the artistic direction of melkior arthur and guillaume paquin, bringing together a network of aerial artists, dancers, photographers, and set designers to develop multidisciplinary works. in their authored work, recurring scenographic forms become spaces of contemporary mythology, ancient and otherworldly at once, evoking inner landscapes that feel both protective and obscure.
through this photo series, they explore the process of crystal formation - euhedral, subhedral, anhedral forms.
reflecting on the tension between the impulse to take shape and the forces that shape us, and our capacity for change. photos by élodie renaux.

SHOW DIRECTED BY MELKIOR - IN DEVELOPMENT
we invited dancers stacey désilier and jossua satinée collins, contortionnist éliza lance and the founders, to immerse themselves in a mineral, plural scenography, suspended between shadow and light, to create timeless scenes together. the process was captured through the lens of photographers élodie renaux and hugo duquette.
volcanoes embody the eternal dance between creation and destruction. they sculpt landscapes where rivers of lava trace incandescent paths. like guardians of the world’s secrets, they whisper ancient and contemporary mythologies.
