Quand Janet dort

暫無暫無暫無尚無足夠評分

Quand Janet dort portrays Janet Lumb, a Chinese-Canadian artist who has lived in Montreal for many years. Fuelled by dreams and chaos, her artistic world takes shape through performance and musical composition. At 72, Janet is losing her memory. Her artistic and political legacy, along with the details of her life, are fading, though they remain deeply precious to her friend Laurence. To shake up her daily routine, create new memories and revive old ones, he spontaneously plans a trip to Ecuador. Through a polyphonic narrative moving between spoken and written voices, a memory that spans generations gradually emerges. Together, these voices invite reflection on belonging and what is passed down. Janet’s embodied presence, the archival materials documenting her impact and the tenderness with which she is portrayed celebrate the quiet strength of her work and activism.
