An Otter’s Midwinters Night’s Dream
Sandra St-Laurent & Mylène Leboeuf-Gagné
About the art suite
As it gently drifted along the river, the otter dozed off...
in its dream, the river became a stage of a winter carnival, where creatures of the current - a playful beaver, a dancing heron and majestic salmon - gather in celebration.
The title playfully echoes A Midsummer Night's Dream, though our characters and setting tell a different story. Here, nature takes center stage in a whimsical and poetic world. Far from worry, the animals reclaim their environment in joy. We also pay tribute to the wild salmon, a strong yet vulnerable species, protected and revered for its rarity.
