Under the leadership of Diane Loiselle and Denys Lefebvre, Tenon Mortaise™ (Tenon Mortise) is a research and creation company which creates, produces and distributes interdisciplinary theatre shows destined to young audiences, families and adults.
Getting beyond traditional theatrical borders, Tenon Mortaise favours a multidisciplinary theatre form, that singles out a theatrical approach focused on the drama provided by the body, and oriented towards the encountering and the mix of genres.
From mime to dance, from puppetry to shadow theatre, and from pictorial art to video, Tenon Mortaise pursues exploratory steps towards an atypical, poetic and non-linear visual language to develop its own scenic writing. Writing imprinted with poetry, where imagery and movement are as significant as speech. As of 1996, the year of its foundation, the company has presented more than 10 productions in Montreal and area.
