Life after
Is it possible to regain peace of mind after surviving cancer? This is one of the big questions that cross Life after, conversational podcast cheerfully hosted by Zoé Witala.

Author of the powerful book of collages / poems Vital forces (The Wick) testifies with a salutary lack of modesty of her sex life transformed by breast cancer as well as of the taming of her new body.

Vehicle theft, intellectual property theft, bee theft (!); Thief even tells of the theft of an ambulance by his passenger under the influence. As for the host Guy Mongrain, he remembers frankly how a blackmailer once mounted a (not so) beautiful big boat in the shape of a Ponzi scheme.

If the good Lord answers our prayers, the theaters will have reopened their doors in March, in time for the presentation of Marguerite: fire, by Émilie Monnet, new artist in residence at Espace Go.
