Quebec-based
director and cofounder of Pigeons
International. She was born in Portugal.
She was educated at Concordia University and the Université de Québec à
Montréal before founding the company to explore multidisciplinary theatre
via masterpieces of the modern and classical repertory.
She has directed most of the company's works including Perdu dans
les coquelicots/Lost in the Poppies, Savage/Love, Cruising
Paradise and The Making of de Macbeth. Les Bachantes,
appeared in the 1999 Festival
de Théâtre des Amériques.
Her style is marked by a special attention to movement/dance and a
playfully intelligent approach to dramatic text.

co-founder Paul-Antoine Taillefer, and their daughter.
Mme de Vasconcelos now spends more time with work that is more purely
dance.
