Michel Tremblay, our universal storyteller, is one of the first playwrights to use Quebec’s dialect “joual” in his plays. This is how he brilliantly started our cultural affirmation. Whether you are familiar with his work or not, you cannot miss this fantastical saga. La traversée du siècle is the story of our Québécois mythology, the perfect combination of Tremblay’s plays and novels, presented on stage with no less than 20 performers, 75 characters and a whole century of history spread out on a 12 hour performance. Discover Alice Ronfard’s latest accomplishment, an hommage to three generations of women who built Quebec as we know it with resiliency and hope.
