The immersive multimedia installation is composed of the virtual sets and characters sourced from five stage productions created by Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon over the past thirty years. Visitors are immersed in a space defined by giant projections on the walls of the Contemporary Art Square and on a series of screens, which serve as virtual doors and form a labyrinth both thematically and spatially.
The National Order of Quebec, termed officially in French as l'Ordre national du Québec, and in English abbreviation as the Order of Quebec, is a civilian honour for merit in the Canadian province of Quebec. Instituted in 1984 when Lieutenant Governor Jean-Pierre Côté granted Royal Assent to the Loi sur l'Ordre national du Québec (National Order of Quebec Act),the order is administered by the Governor-in-Council and is intended to honour current or former Quebec residents for conspicuous achievements in any field,being thus described as the highest honour in Quebec.

"We were as dreamers, entranced by the multimedia web deftly spun for us by Lemieux and Pilon. Norman works both as a spectacular introduction for the general public and a treat for those already in the know. I highly recommend the piece to people of most ages. On the whole, it’s a true feast for the senses."
Lisa Vlasova, Montreal Rampage
"NORMAN is a rare mix of intimacy and special effects; it’s real and surreal" This bilingual and funny show is hyper-modern."
