From the University of Ottawa campus, the L'eau du bain collective invites you to an excursion on frozen Lake Saint-Jean. Le son de l’ère est froid (The Cold Sound of the Era) is an installation, a fishing cabin where the solitary spectator will find himself immersed in a haunting sonar landscape, one whispering with the sounds and people from another time and place.
The cabin is brought to life via a network of hidden audiosensors, transporting each visitor into another world - where they embark on a fifteen minutes journey across a vast and frozen landscape, one isolating each individual in the confines of their own intimacy.
After Montreal, Mons (Belgium), Quebec City and Alma, the cabin is making its last stop in the nation's capital!

Press Review
“It causes us to question our presence of being, to immerse ourselves in a place, to be in harmony with ourselves, to listen with a more attentive ear, to better understand the environment around us. (…) Le “Theatre de l’hospitalité” of L’Eau du Bain takes us from our comfort zones (unheimlich).”
