About the duo
The practice of the duo Clö&Coralie is at the intersection of theatre and performance, where presence becomes material and relationships takes shape. Their work is grounded in a radical co-creation form : thinking and acting together within a shared body that is porous and sometimes dissonant. The duo is interested in this pending point where the audience no longer knows whether they are witnessing a representation or an experience.
Clö&Coralie deliberately based their art on theatrical techniques such as gestures, cues, different use of space, time, or lightning in order to fracture and displace the framework, revealing its zone of ambiguity between performance and theatre. Beneath the refined, almost glamorous surface of their aesthetic universe runs a raw physicality that cracks their image, exposing the body as a living matter.
Clö&Coralie pursue their work as a field of research, adopting a resolutely interdisciplinary framework that connects performance, theatre, education, and social inquiry. Their work considers performance as a site of embodied experience through which to explore the psychology of movement, mechanisms of representation, modes of being and communication, and power relations inscribed in bodies, particularly those of women.
Clö Pel
Chloé Péloquin, known as Clö Pel, is a Québec-based performance artist and researcher in the field of live arts. She is the co-founder of the duo Clö&Coralie, whose practice operates at the intersection of performance and theatre with a strong focus on the body as a site of memory, transmission and relational experience.
Currently completing a Master’s degree in Arts at Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR), her research focuses on performance practices developed in direct relation to non-initiated audiences. She investigates how performative dispositifs, embodied experimentation, and context-responsive staging can foster meaningful encounters with publics unfamiliar with contemporary performance art. Her work seeks to rethink modes of reception by creating accessible, sensitive, and participatory spaces that invite engagement beyond specialized artistic circles.
Through both her individual projects and the work of Clö&Coralie, Clö Pel approaches performance as a tool for mediation, cultural transmission and the reconfiguration of the relationships between artist and spectator. She is deeply engaged in fostering emerging performance practices in regional contexts through curatorial projects, festival direction, and teaching. Her work advances a vision of performance as a relational and evolving field, where creation becomes a shared process of transmission, dialogue and encounter with diverse publics.
Coralie Roy
Coralie Roy is a Québec-based performance artist, researcher-creator and arts educator. She is the co-founder of the duo Clö&Coralie, recognized for immersive performative works combining theatre, photography, installation and audience participation.
Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Arts Education and currently completing a Master’s degree in Arts at Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR), she develops a research-creation practice grounded in performance as a pedagogical context. Rather than applying education to performance, she investigates how performance itself can operate as a site of learning an embodied situation in which knowledge emerges through presence, interaction, and shared experience.
Through the concept of corporeal receptivity developed within Clö&Coralie, Coralie Roy approaches the body as a space of awareness and relational agency. Co-creation, gesture, and attention become structuring principles that activate collective reflection, particularly with non-initiated audiences, privileging lived encounter over predetermined outcomes.
In parallel to her artistic work, she contributes to the circulation of emerging live-arts practices in regional contexts through festival direction and curatorial initiatives. Across these spheres, she advances a vision of performance as a dynamic framework for transmission, where creation and learning unfold together, and pedagogy is enacted through performative experience.
