Malvina, a village from the 19th-century Eastern Townships
A place where human heritage and wild nature intertwine, the story of Malvina is that of a vanished village, founded in the 19th century, where nature has reclaimed most of the land. The site features rich and diverse ecosystems — forest, plains, mountains, river, pond, and more — along with a heritage house. Through numerous encounters with local residents, Van Grimde Corps Secrets discovered that Malvina is much more than just a place: it is a fragment of collective memory, a territory inhabited by stories, traces, and emotions.
It is from this recognition that the idea for a creation and presentation center deeply rooted in its territory was born — a living space where the community can reclaim its history while opening itself to contemporary creation.
New grounds for transdisciplinary research, creation, and residencies
Led by Van Grimde Corps Secrets, this unique center offers an exceptional setting for artists, researchers, thinkers, and audiences to collectively explore the connections between the body, the land, science, and contemporary creation.
In an environment where forests meet mountains, rivers, and fields, each project unfolds in an intimate relationship with the site and its ecosystems.
Serving as a space for residencies, research, transmission, and encounters, the center fosters exchanges across disciplines, generations, and cultures. It invites a sensitive reimagining of local heritage while inspiring new forms of expression in the performing arts, digital arts, ecology, and interdisciplinary thought.
At Malvina, creation takes root, resonates, and is shared.
Our Artistic Trails
Unfolding across fields, forests, and rivers, the trails of the ccdMalvina are experienced in harmony with the rhythm of the landscape. They are accessible during the summer cultural programming days and by reservation for private groups.
