Marie Brassard is an actress, author and director. In 2001, after years of working with Robert Lepage, she began her solo career by founding the production company Infrarouge, where she is the general and artistic director.
Working closely with musicians and visual artists, she creates shows with surreal atmospheres where video, light and sound play a central role. Her work explores different levels of reality, the boundaries between private and public, and the intimate relationship between human beings and technology.
A singular voice in contemporary theatre, her work has been presented in twenty-five countries across America, Europe, Japan, China and Australia. Her works include La fureur de ce que je pense (The Fury of My Thoughts), a collage of texts by Nelly Arcan, and Jimmy, créature de rêve, which has been presented in seventeen countries. Her latest creation, The Ether, premiered in Montréal in 2026.
She has also created the immersive exhibition L’infini with the PHI Centre and Felix & Paul, and wrote and directed her first feature film, Le train. Marie Brassard was awarded the Ordre des arts et des Lettres du Québec in 2016 and received the Siminovitch Prize in 2022 for the innovative nature of her work as a director.
