At the intersection of theater, performance and media arts, the practice of Émilie Monnet is most often presented in the form of interdisciplinary theater or performative installations. Her artistic approach favors collaborative and multilingual creative processes, and explores themes of memory, history and transmission.

As a committed author, actress and director, she founded Onishka Productions in 2011 in order to forge ties between artists from different Indigenous peoples, regardless of their disciplines. A graduate of the indigenous artist residency at the National Theater School of Canada, she has also been the resident artist at Espace GO for three years. Of Anishinaabe and French descent, Émilie resides between the Outaouais and Tiohtià:ke / Mooniyaang / Montreal.
