Le spectacle Uvattini (qui signifie « chez nous » en inuktitut) mêle musique, narration, vidéos et performance pour imaginer un espace où le passé et le présent se confondent, faisant émerger des souvenirs doux-amers et des émotions brutes. À travers sa performance mise en scène par Émilie Monnet, Elisapie guide le public sur son propre territoire, offrant une expérience musicale et sensorielle où l’histoire personnelle, la douleur subjective et collective trouvent dans des classiques du rock et de la pop traduits en inuktitut une surface de projections de l’intime. D’une facture documentaire et poétique, Uvattini montre et fait ressentir ce qu’est le Nord et les Inuits qui l’habitent. La performance s’apparente par moment à un rituel sacré portée par des arrangements musicaux impressionnants, des jeux de lumière envoûtants et des images filmées qui transforment nos perspectives et nos points de vue sur le monde.
