Albertine, En Cinq Temps - Michel Tremblay - Théatre du Nouveau Monde

Le Chant de Sainte Carmen de la Main - Théatre du Nouveau Monde

Le Chant de Sainte Carmen de la Main
DU 30 AVRIL AU 25 MAI, 2013

d’après Sainte Carmen de la Main
de Michel Tremblay

Théatre du Nouveau Monde
84, rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest
Montréal (Québec)

Livret, paroles et mise en scène René Richard Cyr
Musique Daniel Bélanger

Tout dans la puissante fable de Carmen appelle la fusion du théâtre, de la musique et du chant. René Richard Cyr et Daniel Bélanger, le duo qui a transfiguré Les Belles-Soeurs, déploie dans sa totale envergure cette oeuvre magistrale où Michel Tremblay embrasse à la fois le quotidien et le mythique, les ténèbres et la lumière. Car Sainte Carmen de la Main entraîne dans un irrésistible mouvement épique son incandescente héroïne, ses petits malfrats et son choeur bigarré de prostituées et de travestis.

Pour raconter l’histoire de cette chanteuse qui mourra pour avoir décidé de libérer la Main en chantant l es misères et les grandeurs de ceux qui y ont échoué, il fallait une distribution à la hauteur de ces personnages entrés depuis déjà longtemps dans la mythologie québécoise : Gloria, la vieille star déchue de la bossa nova ; Maurice, le roi de la Main, aussi charmeur que dangereux ; l’inquiétant et visqueux Tooth Pick ; Bec-de-lièvre, la timide lesbienne au coeur ardent et la radieuse Carmen, reine du western, dont le retour embrase la Main comme le soleil de juin et qui prendra la voix et les traits de la bouleversante et sensuelle Maude Guérin.

Une production Théâtre du Nouveau Monde, Spectra musique, Les Francofolies de Montréal, B14 Productions.

Other People’s Moccasins: Joanne Arnott Interviews Wanda John-Kehewin

Joanne Arnott interviews Wanda John-Kehewin about her new book In the Dog House:

I can’t really say there were many poets of the past that influenced my writing. I think when I really started to be inspired was when I heard that there were other Native writers, and that wasn’t until I moved to the West Coast in 1991. For some reason I didn’t think it was actually something an “Indian” could do. There weren’t any books in the library that were by First Nations people when I was growing up.
