Cédric Landry | La light du Borgot

Maxim Gaudette, James Hyndman and Emmanuel Schwartz immerse us in the evocative world of Icelandic writer Gyrðir Elíasson, accompanied on stage by pianist Viviane Audet.

Equipped with teleprompter glasses, Catherine Dorion and Christian Lapointe take on Simon-Pierre Beaudet’s text, transforming it into a performance that moves between cynicism and exhilaration.

Brought to the stage in a deeply embodied reading by Marie-Thérèse Fortin, the great novel Bonheur d'occasion regains its full emotional power. Following her acclaimed performance of La Détresse et l’enchantement, the actress returns to Gabrielle Roy’s literary world, accompanied by writer Dominique Fortier, whose insight has helped shape the artistic conception of this new production.
