Les nuages de terres
Les Nuages de terre (Earth Clouds) represents the successful dream of an encounter between Québécois and African artists. Through a love story in the vein of Romeo and Juliet or Tristan and Iseult, it dares to speak of hope.
On an island as fictitious as an African winter, two adolescents passionately in love reject the customs of their ancestors. Fleurée and Gabié have time to sow the seeds of a Free Children’s City before dying in the clamour and fury of a revolution orchestrated by Collyre. This heady, angry poetic fable that Daniel Danis spins so well condemns the horror of ethnic and religious warfare and makes love triumph. The interplay of languages, voices, music and colours causes the borders of the world to crumble. Somewhere, in Unparadise, Daniel Danis would say, stirs the hope of new universal dignity.
