The soul of the poet

When dance meets poetry
The songs and poems that have lulled generations of Quebecers set the tone for the bodies of eight performers in a series of tableaux, co-created with the La Tresse collective, where poetry is both seen and heard. In a minimalist staging, the two geniuses – and friends – blend together to convey a vibrant message of humanity and nature. An hour in the company of the most illustrious artists of our time – what more could one ask for?
