Les Fermières Obsédées

Les Fermières Obsédées is a collective formed by Annie Baillargeon and Eugénie Cliche. Their performances are a crossover of several disciplines including dance, theatre, music, and visual arts. They create poetic and abstract images, drawing on concrete social positions as their sources. Their shows often resemble a living tableau; presenting multiple symbolic and metaphorical images which allude to our ever-changing world by critiquing North American mass culture and its lack of intrinsic values. Les Fermières Obsédées present parodically choreographed scores inspired by military attitudes. They employ a visual language that allies the tragic, the burlesque, the rhythmic, and the use of popular symbols. Since 2001, Les Fermières Obsédées have presented their work in various events in Canada, Wales, Northern Ireland, Australia, and Poland.
