Morin/Leroux · Arts vivants is the result of the artistic collaboration between creators Alexandre Morin and Mathieu Leroux. Their work is deeply rooted in contemporary dance, yet resolutely transdisciplinary. As projects evolve, roles and mediums shift: choreography, stage direction, production design, dramaturgical research, and performance all merge into a vibrant and porous co-creation process.

​

Their work is built around precise physical tasks and refined bodily states, defined by strict spatial and temporal parameters. The body is often treated in its abstraction—as matter in motion. Their research is driven by both aesthetic concerns and sharp stage dramaturgy; it is infused with an awareness of pop culture, an attraction to media subcultures, a taste for literary material, and a strong sense of experimentation. Morin/Leroux projects advocate for the permeability of knowledge, aiming to engage both seasoned audiences of live arts and those discovering it for the first time. Far from elitism, their approach is rooted in the conviction that an artistic universe can be rigorous, accessible, and emotionally resonant all at once.

 

Since 2018, seven productions have emerged from the artists’ partnership, giving rise to a polished, introspective, and often exhilarating universe.
