A production by Flammèche Théâtre.
Conception, artistic direction, writing, creation, and performer-puppeteer by Marie-Ève Fontaine.
Inspired by the book by Gabrielle Roy.
Directed by Pierre Robitaille.
A crow, carried by the breeze, soars over the mountains, the valley and finally, the river. It leads the way to a small house with green shutters, tucked at the end of the road in Petite-Rivière-Saint-François. There, Gabrielle takes in the world with bright, wondering eyes: hay swaying in the wind, wildflowers blooming atop a pile of compost, shorebirds calling along the mudflats, fireflies whispering at dusk.
Loosely inspired by Gabrielle Roy’s beloved book of the same name, Cet été qui chantait is a tender performance rich in imagery, steeped in music and anchored in stillness. Marie-Ève Fontaine and her team gently bring the poetic world of the renowned Franco-Manitoban author to life, inviting audiences of all ages — especially little ones and the young at heart — on a deeply sensory journey.
