Through song, movement, theatre, and performance, Soleil Launière creates a universe that is deeply connected to her roots and to Innu traditions. At the heart of Soleil’s vision is inclusion, gender equality, openness to others, listening and learning. She is committed to opening dialogue between cultures and generations and to promoting the transmission of knowledge.

“I wanted to create a space where you go back in time, listen to the sounds that were there before, feel the energy of the space before there were buildings and concrete all around us.”

Soleil Launière is a Pekuakamilnu artist born in Mashteuiatsh. As a performance artist working with body and voice, she is interested in songs from around the world, in sounds, in vocal improvisations as well as in physical movement. For her creations, she draws inspiration from dreams and legends, from Innu cosmogony and its sacred animal spirits. As an audiovisual technology enthusiast, Launière enjoys superimposing images with stage presence, and creating a dialogue between human beings and the digital realm to create a form of organic machinery.

 Founded and directed by Soleil, Production AUEN's mission is to create and produce artistic performances inspired by physical theatre, contemporary dance, traditional and contemporary singing. The creations intertwine the presence of the two-spirited body and the experimental audiovisual while drawing inspiration from the cosmogony and the sacred spirit of the animals of the Innu world and express a thought on silences and languages ​​through the body.
