L’exil d’Alexa: La vie est un rêve; Aliénor

Rate this book
Voici enfin réunies dans un même volume trois pièces de théâtre d’Herménégilde Chiasson qui, chacune à sa façon, réfléchit à l’avenir du peuple acadien. La trilogie met en scène des individus face à un dilemme : obéir à la tradition, à ses codes, à ses attentes, ou s’émanciper, quitte à rompre avec ce qu’on a construit ? Les relations amoureuses et familiales, la langue et le langage, l’urbanité et l’imaginaire sont autant de facettes de ces histoires qui tentaient, à l’époque de leur création, de redéfinir une modernité jusque-là lestée de son passé et de ses mythes.
