Last September, the phone rang with an unprecedented proposal: to create a stage costume for comedian Jo Cormier’s very first show. r Jo Cormier’s very first show. With only one month before the media premiere, this request came at the peak of our intensive production period at the workshop for the Christmas market season. Needless to say, it was quite a challenge.
To complete the creative team, we immediately brought on Montreal fashion designer Odeyalo. From there, our assignment was to create the quilt from which a custom-designed coat would be cut and assembled according to the artist’s measurements and needs.
Despite a great deal of sweat and a few extra hours, Jo Cormier was able to make a triumphant entrance wearing his quilted coat for his media premiere, as well as for his very first interview on Tout le monde en parle.
We are deeply grateful and proud of this unique project, which will grace stages throughout Quebec. Thank you to the artists who showcase Quebec artisans and give them a platform through these collaborative projects!
