Water Orchestra transforms an interactive fountain into a playful, responsive musical instrument, activated in real time by the gestures of anyone who steps onto the conductor’s podium.
Water Orchestra invites visitors to shape music, rhythm, and the choreography of water through movement. Wide, expressive gestures trigger energetic bursts of sound and soaring water jets, while slower, more subtle motions create gentle melodies and delicate water effects.
The experience features a specially curated orchestral soundtrack, allowing participants of all ages to step into the role of conductor and discover the joy of making music through play.

OTTOMATA & Atomic 3
Ottomata is a technological collective working in the field of interactive art and media. Its members are actively evolving both artistically and professionally within different spheres of the creative landscape. They frequently collaborate with other multimedia creation studios such as Moment Factory, Float4, and Champagne Club Sandwich, while also conducting in-house research-creation projects.
These explorations often lead to the creation of unique site-specific works as well as original cross-disciplinary hybrids. Their creations are driven by a desire to develop not only new forms of interaction, but above all meaningful and lasting relationships with their audience.
With over ten years of experience in the performing arts, director Félix Dagenais and lighting designer Louis-Xavier Gagnon-Lebrun founded ATOMIC3 in order to pursue their artistic practice beyond the walls of theatre, by inventing new ways of telling stories and sparking the imagination.
Together, they design and create urban installations that transform spaces and illuminate everyday life. Whether interactive or contemplative, their works invite citizens to look at their environment with fresh eyes. Their rich background in the performing arts informs each of their creations, which are infused with unique narrative and poetic dimensions.
