Centre culturel Frontenac Presents

Cet été qui chantait

Marie-Ève Fontaine

Synopsis

A gust of wind carries a crow across the landscape : mountains, valleys and a majestic river. Follow the crow to a little white and green house nestled in the small town of Petite-Rivière. Here you’ll find Gabrielle Roy, observing with wonder all the life in her corner of the world. Let her tell you about the grasses that dance in the wind; describe the black and white birds that cry at low tide; and whisper to you about the fireflies that twinkle at dusk. Freely inspired by the eponymous text, Cet été qui chantait is as gentle as Gabrielle Roy’s own words. Featuring a soundscape and colourful characters, the deeply poetic universe of the Franco Manitoban author comes to life through puppetry, shadow play and toy theatre. Marie-Ève Fontaine and her accomplices invite you on this sensory journey, designed for all audiences, especially children and seniors.
