Chante avec moi

There is nothing anonymous about them. They are not a faceless crowd swarming the boards, but individuals – a real community – taking over the stage to spontaneously create before our eyes a song that, like the sirens’ song, attracts people of all classes and cultures, people who then make it their own, enriching it further in a blaze of fullness and universal harmony. The song will not die for it now has its own life. It becomes an insidious power, loved to death.

The amazing Olivier Choinière, the author of Félicité and the creator of surprising theatrical walkabouts, has assembled 50 actors to present a strange, disturbing fable, a musical comedy that is radiant and enthusiastic and ripe with the utopia of a collective communion, but one that is transformed into nightmarish conditioning that crushes those who so innocently created it.
