Marie
Brassard was born in Trois-Rivières,
Quebec, Canada on August 11, 1959. Brassard is an actress, author and theatre
director living in Montreal. For many years her professional endeavors were
closely linked with Robert Lepage. Under his direction, she participated along
with other artists in the creation of several plays and films, among them “The
Dragons' Trilogy”, “Polygraph”, “The Seven Streams of the River Ota” and “Geometry
of Miracles”.
In
2001, she created her first solo production, “Jimmy”, within the framework of
the Festival de Théâtre des Amériques, now Festival TransAmériques. In the
meantime, she has produced six other works – “The Darkness”, “Peepshow”, “The
Glass Eye” (with Louis Negin), “The Invisible”, “Me Talking to Myself in the
Future” and “Trieste” – in which she has continued to experiment with
technology and explore the many ways with which sound can be manipulated in
theater. By interlacing voices and music and traversing the planes of reality,
she leads audiences to a world where the boundaries between public and private
dissolve and the relationship between human beings and technology becomes
intimate. Her unique work, performed both in English and French, has made her a
singular voice in contemporary theater, receiving widespread acclaim in many
cities across America, Europe and Australia.
She
is also the artistic director of the production company Infrarouge.
