Look Up/Vers le haut is a bilingual series of short performances for audiences who are laying horizontal. It combines live storytelling with visual animation that is projected on the ceiling, and is accompanied by a foley soundscape that is created using everyday objects.

The seed for the show Look Up was planted when Genevieve saw a drawing on the ceiling above her hospital bed in 2017. That simple drawing of a sunset accompanied by the words “This will not last forever” resonated with her in a profound way. Years later, she approached visual artist and dear friend Virginie Hamel to finally start tackling the creative concept that had inhabited her ever since: “Let’s make a show for audiences lying on their backs”.

Open Pit Theatre has hosted all ages performances of Look Up/Vers le haut and is visiting Whitehorse daycares with the performances specifically developped for little ones.
