Les Sortilèges and their Wardrobe: 33 Years of Costumes from Here and Elsewhere
Centre de Documentation Marius-Barbeau
Montréal , Quebec

Enter

folk dance troupe. Along
with the troupe's archives,
the Centre has collected and
kept throughout the years a
remarkable documentation
about folk art. With this
exhibition, the MBDC opens up
parts of its archives, thus
allowing you to appreciate
the evolution, variety and

authenticity of Les
Sortilèges' stage wardrobe.
From traditional and rural
folklore to urban folklore,
from Canadian costumes to
ethnic costumes, Les
Sortilèges accumulated a
wardrobe of up to 2,000
pieces. We invite you to
(re)discover this wardrobe

which illustrates the
troupe's life on stage,
backstage and throughout
their amateur and
professional years, and which
testifies to the incredible
richness of Québec's cultural
heritage.
   Please note that the
costumes and events presented

do not constitute an
exhaustive list of Les
Sortilèges' many creations.
If you wish to pursue a more
in-depth research, you may

Documentation Centre in
