Summary:
Dans la forêt, un chien s’engouffre dans un arbre et disparaît… avant de refaire surface dans un atelier d'artiste à Montréal. Troquant ses ciseaux à bois pour le crayon à mine, Myriam Simard-Parent raconte, dans une forme bédéesque, l’histoire d’une sculptrice ensorcelée par la matière. Par le jeu de la fiction, Les chiens dans les arbres propose une réflexion inédite sur l'interrelation entre les artistes et leur médium de prédilection, dont le potentiel transfigurateur comporte aussi le risque d’une métamorphose vampirique.
