Event concept for the 375th anniversary of Montréal.
Hear-a-Tree (aka.
Porte voix in French
) wishes to celebrate our city by rediscovering its history through our parks, but in their own voice. As witnesses to our affairs since our arrival to the island, the trees are perfect for helping us rediscover our history and identity. Trees are augmented with audio "skins" that tell bits of stories -- in the manner of traditional storytellers -- creating different audio narratives depending on the path taken thru a park. Stories recount history & forgotten legends relative to the area.
