With mirador, Jean-Michel Blais moves beyond minimalism to create a sweeping and luminous work inspired by his childhood, his travels, and his roots.
Accompanied on stage by a trio of musicians, this musical odyssey blends piano, choral voices, strings, and Andean influences. Drawing from the artist’s memories—his childhood refuge in Nicolet, his discovery of Latin American music, and his journeys through Latin America and Estonia—the work unfolds as a rich and evocative universe where dreams, memory, and imagination converge. In this new show, Blais creates an immersive world shaped by pieces such as “carnavalito,” “kyrie,” and “granada.” mirador becomes an invitation to rediscover the sense of wonder of childhood and to explore the landscapes within.
