In association with

A MODERN CHANSON DE GESTE
Imagine a civil war, but imagine it taking place here. Now imagine that you are the other person, the one placed in a detention camp. Imagine a novel brought to life in a play that is very much attuned to its times. A man of commitment and principles, loyal to certain ideas and to certain writers, director Alain Françon continues to present works by playwrights with a sharp perception of our world, and the adroit maven of language Daniel Danis is one of them.
 
 
His most recent play, created in Paris, is a fantastic tragic-comic epic in which J'il, the beloved son of a nation of Métis, leads a convoy of humans on an inner journey, a voyage that calls into question their own earthly legitimacy. Beyond the frontiers of war and peace, in a world at war that could be here or elsewhere, the new piece by Saguenay native Danis draws on the ancient epics and the "chanson de geste" (medieval epic poems) in this tale of the ordeals and exploits of latterday heroes, recounted with the fantastic amazement of the great founding narratives.
