La vie, la mort, le dessert

An immersive five-course culinary experience that transports the public to a romantic, theatrical, and enchanting world. Conceived as a journey through the cycle of nature, La vie, la mort, le dessert is a unique evening that combines gastronomy, artistic performance, and immersive scenography in the dome. Guests are invited to follow a five-part narrative, from the theatrical aperitivo to the wild dessert, including the trou normand—each course evokes the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. Under the culinary direction of chef Clément Boivin (Cuisine Libre!), renowned for his mastery of local and forest-based cuisine, the meal becomes a sensory journey where each dish tells a story and every bite becomes an experience. For the occasion, the third floor is transformed into an enchanted residence, the restaurant’s dining room into a pantry, and the dome into a wild atrium. An experience created by Nicolas Fonseca, Michel Lam, and Thomas Payette. Produced by the Society for Arts and Technology [SAT] and mirari, in collaboration with Fig55 and the Opéra de Montréal. This project is made possible thanks to the financial support of Tourism Montreal.
