Cet été qui chantait
A crow, carried by the breeze, flies over the mountains, the valley and finally the river. Follow it as it guides you to the little house with the green shutters at the end of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François Road. There, you’ll find Gabrielle, eyes alight, observing life in this part of the country: the hay dancing in the wind, the flowers growing on a pile of manure, the black and white birds along the flats calling out at low tide, the fireflies whispering at dusk.
Inspired by Gabrielle Roy’s book of the same name, written in 1972, Cet été qui chantait is a show full of gentle imagery. Marie-Ève Fontaine recreates the deeply poetic universe of the Franco-Manitoban author in a puppet theatre setting, inviting you on a sensory journey that will appeal to young and old alike.
