Sainte Marine: An Immersive Encounter with the Past is an innovative opera presented by Chants Libres and Oktoecho, opening on November 9, 2024, at the Société des arts technologiques in Montreal. The opera tells the remarkable story of a 5th-century Maronite woman who disguised herself as a man and lived in a monastery, exploring themes of identity and the experiences of women throughout history. The artistic journey is crafted by creators Marie-Annick Béliveau, Katia Makdissi-Warren, and Charlie Poirier-Bouthillette, who integrate traditional Maronite music with contemporary elements, including performances in both French and Syriac. The audience experiences a blend of immersive technology that enhances the connection between performers and spectators.
