An immersive five-course culinary experience that transports guests into a romantic, theatrical, and spellbinding world.
Conceived as a journey through the cycles of nature, Life, Death, Dessert is a one-of-a-kind evening blending gastronomy, live performance, and immersive scenography inside the dome. Guests are invited to follow a five-part narrative, from a theatrical aperitivo to a wild dessert, passing through the trou normand-each course evoking the cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
Under the culinary direction of Chef Clément Boivin (Cuisine Libre!), renowned for his local and forest-driven approach, and in collaboration with pastry chef Catherine Lépine-Lafrance, the meal becomes a sensory voyage where every dish tells a story and every bite becomes an experience. For the occasion, the 3rd floor is transformed into an enchanted residence, and the dome into a wild atrium.
Created by Nicolas Fonseca (Mr Jaune), Michel Lam (Fig55), and Thomas Payette (mirari), the experience weaves a dialogue between gastronomy, performing arts, and immersive projections. Multidisciplinary performances presented by the Opéra de Montréal, captivating visuals, and live scenographic actions punctuate the evening, which concludes in a festive and free-spirited atmosphere.
Each performance brings together around one hundred guests for a banquet filled with thrill, discovery, and delight-in short, nature served full force.
An experience created by Nicolas Fonseca, Michel Lam, and Thomas Payette.
