It’s cold, it’s cold, it’s cold in Montreal. It’s slippery, the wind is whipping our cheeks, we’re wearing six layers of clothing and we’re chilled to the bone. It’s exhausting – pretty, almost fairytale-like when it’s sunny, but exhausting.
As Montrealers (and as Canadians), we have the immense pleasure of telling others we’re used to it, and of laughing at Parisians when they panic over 3 centimetres of snow. But we know that when we take off our boots full of little gravels that have slipped on a patch of ice anyway, we’re a bit weather-weary.
To enjoy the coldest of winters – but in the warmth – we’re going to see the film-musical experience -22.7°C at the SAT in January and February 2026.
The Arctic, polar night, electronic music
Under the SAT’s immersive 360-degree dome, the film by electro music producer Molécule tells the story of the polar cold.
In 2017, he spent 5 weeks in an isolated village far, far north – in Tiniteqilaaq, Greenland. He recorded the natural sounds and music of the Arctic to compose an album: -22.7°C.
To accompany the arctic soundtrack, Dirty Monitor’s “inner worlds” of imagined images and visuals of the icy region are projected into the dome.
The result is a 40-minute audiovisual film-experience that you’ll want to see for the sublimity of the cold without frozen feet…
