AT FESTIVAL CARREFOUR in QUEBEC CITY!

Bibliothèque Gabrielle-Roy

Empty Stage is an evolving interactive art project that invites audiences to imagine, create, and share.
Originating as a simple stage with blank canvases, it has traveled to festivals and events worldwide, collecting stories and visuals that reflect the thoughts and emotions of its participants.
From Berlin’s HAU Hebbel am Ufer to Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre for Nuit Blanche, the project has sparked creativity and connection, with hundreds of drawings and ideas generated along the way.
Each contribution becomes part of a growing body of work, highlighting the collective imagination of communities across the globe.
Whether in-person or online, Empty Stage continues to transform empty spaces into vibrant expressions of shared humanity.
