The piece is inspired by a very special location, a cove on the Magdalen Islands called La Belle-Anse, where it is believed some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world take place. When you are standing there on the cliff, looking towards the sea, the air you breathe smells of freedom and the landscape you see is filled with intensity, authenticity and warmth. It is dedicated to somebody close to me who recently passed away, and who embodied all of those qualities.
Cette pièce est inspirée par un endroit très spécial, la Belle-Anse aux Iles-de-la-Madeleine, où on peut voir l’un des plus beaux couchers de soleil au monde. Lorsque l’on s’y trouve, en haut des impressionnantes falaises, le regard attiré par une mer réconfortante et majestueuse, l’air qu’on y respire goûte la liberté et l’authenticité. La Belle-Anse est dédiée à une personne près de moi qui est décédée récemment et qui possédait toutes ces qualités.
