Emilie Racine is a puppeteer, director and filmmaker who draws inspiration from tales, symbols and archetypes to touch the collective unconscious. She makes and animates different types of puppets - giant, fragmented, inhabited - to tell stories that are embodied through materials and their movements.

Emilie is co-artistic director of the theater company Territoire 80, where she initiated two shows: Habite-moi, a Brazil-Canada co-production presented since 2018 in different theaters in Brazil (European premiere at the FMTM in Charleville-Mézières in September 2023 ) ; and Le Chat Pèlerin, a Mali-Canada-France co-production presented at the Institut Français du Mali in March 2021. As founder of the company Création Vivante, her passion for visual theater leads her to bring the puppet into public space , notably with her shows Les Mariés Corbeaux, Céleste and L'Histoire de Pi, which led her to collaborate with various festivals in Québec, Mexico, Ivory Coast, Tunisia and Madagascar. Between 2020 and 2023, she produced and directed a polyptych work entitled Persephone, which is divided into several parts: a short film, a multimedia installation and different forms of performances.
