"Hoofsteps" is a project I aim to create with Elsy as a part of her research. It is an innovative live performance that invites the audience to journey through the echoes of a vanished Horse Palace.
Through rhythmic hoofsteps and haunting echoes, the performance transports spectators to Griffintown’s historic streets. The addition of archival echo sounds enhances the authenticity of the experience, immersing the audience in the fragmented tales of the past. This performance envisions an exploration of storytelling, bringing between the tangible present and the echoes of Griffintown’s past.
Hoofsteps Echoes: A Tender Tale of Griffintown.
A Collective Listening Performance.
Lucine Serhan
"Hoofsteps" is a play on words, combining "hoofsteps" (the sound of horse hooves) with "echoes." In the context of the proposed event."Hoofsteps Echoes: A Tender Tale of Griffintown" refer to a collective listening performance that revolves around the auditory experience of hoofsteps and echoes, transporting the audience to Griffintown's historic streets.
The term "Hoofsteps" is a creative and intentional variation, suggesting a unique and innovative approach to the auditory elements of the performance. It aligns with the project's conceptual theme, aiming to create an immersive experience that blends rhythmic hoof steps, haunting echoes, and archival sounds to bring Griffintown's past to life.
