One actor. Musicians. Words. Pierre Lebeau, he of the imposing stage presence and rich, velvety voice, manipulates and reshapes the work of his favourite Quebec poets: Miron, Daoust, Gauvreau, Aquin. He inhabits the words, redecorates the poems, repaints the prose. Backed by jazzman Benoît Charest, the wizard behind the soundtrack of the award-winning Triplets of Belleville, Pierre Lebeau constructs a grand happening, an unforgettable evening where poetry and music intertwine in a whirl of emotions.

Presented in French.
