Emile Pineault is a choreographer, performer and curator based in Montréal, first known as Tiohtiá:ke in Kanyen'kéha and Mooniyang in Anishinaabemowin. Through a multidisciplinary practice rooted in body-based research and performance, his work explores desire and sexualities. Bodies and objects mingle and become heaps of textures, shapes, sounds, vibrations, narratives and affects. He develops choreographies which oscillate between, on the one hand, messiness, clumsiness, and unruliness, and on the other hand, intense textures, exacerbated physicalities and a deep sensuality. He composes his creations like sensory poems and he uses duration and repetition to shift the experience of spectatorship.

Gabriel Cholette holds a doctorate in medieval literature and is a lecturer at the Université de Montréal. His book Les carnets de l'underground was published by Triptyque in the "Queer" collection (2021), it has been translated in English at the House of Anansi (2022) and a reworking of the book without the illustrations was also published in France by Le Gospel (2023). The book was shortlisted for the Dayne Ogilvy Prize for emergent LGBTQ2S+ writers. In a short period of time, he has established himself as an essential voice of queer literature in Québec.
