This film will be presented during the La Nuit de la danse event on March 21st, 2025 at Théâtre Outremont.
Gulabrr stages a character that is playful, curious, majestic, and unsettling, whose material, vocal, and bodily boundaries are porous. Immersed in a sound design made entirely of acoustic vocal sounds, the character moves through dreamlike spaces and blends into trembling, malleable, syrupy, and sparkling textures.
In the presence of director, producer, distributor Gabriel Dharmoo on March 21st in Montreal.

Production
Gabriel Dharmoo
Gabriel Dharmoo’s artistic practice encompasses interdisciplinary arts, composition, vocal performance, improvisation, drag and research. His work has been presented across Canada and internationally. Many of his projects have been awarded, notably the Canada Council for the Arts Jules Léger Prize for his chamber work Wanmansho (2017) and a Conseil Québécois de la Musique Opus Award for his opera À chaque ventre son monstre (2018). His solo show Anthropologies imaginaires was awarded at the Amsterdam Fringe Festival (2015) and the SummerWorks Performance Festival (2016). Merging music, drag and theatre, his current interdisciplinary project Bijuriya has been presented a dozen times in Canada since 2022 (Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Kitchener).
Vocal exploration is at the centre of his artistic practice, as well as mixed-identity, brownness, queerness, imaginary culture and satire. Having scored the music and sound design for a dozen films since 2008, he has been creating art videos combining vocal exploration, movement and make-up since 2020 (Portraits, Ghaav, Gulabrr).
He holds a PhD in research-creation from the Individualized Program of Concordia University.

Jonathan Goulet
Jonathan Goulet is a composer and filmmaker with a proclivity to approach any artistic medium through unconventional methods. Whether it be through sound or film, his practice aims to manipulate perceptions. Time dilating sound ecosystems and creative uses of optical illusions in photography have become recurring tools of his arsenal.
Constantly negotiating a precarious balance between serious intellectual curiosity and childlike wonder, his work becomes a lens best used to focus on conscious states that resemble daydreaming. With a continually growing urge to dive into his wildest fantasies he seeks to create a sense of catharsis in a deeply hypnotic and surreal esthetic.
