The musical theater show The Giantinspired by the La Poune story, will be presented in the summer of 2024.
The Open Eye Theater team (La Corriveau – The Thirst of Crows) will give life to this project where we plan a “time travel” to meet Rose Ouellette, alias La Poune. The show will share through a story with the air of a fantastic tale the journey of the famous character, from the 1920s to the 1940s.
“Evening after evening, a very small woman becomes La Poune, her popular character who has become larger than life and goes on stage to bring a little light to a devouring Great Darkness by bringing people together around a giggle”, announces- we in a press release. ” The Giant, it’s the story of a flower that grows in the night, it’s the legacy of an impossible-to-extinguish flame that continues to light the way for generations of women artists. »
The staging of this original creation is provided by Jade Bruneau, based on an original idea, text and lyrics by Geneviève Beaudet. The music will be signed by Audrey Thériault.
