Visual concept, script, set design and staging are by Marcella Grimaux (Noisy Head Studio), who also wrote the show. The project was produced by Nicolas Lemieux (GSI Musique), who is also its artistic director.
Inspired by the album Histoires sans paroles – Harmonium symphonique arranged by Simon Leclerc, all the concerts in the Montréal trilogy will feature the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal (OSM), guitarist Sylvain Quesnel and the Chœur des jeunes de Laval under conductor Dina Gilbert.
