One day in January 2010 at John F. Kennedy airport in New York, a young mixed race Quebec anthropologist named Lourdes meets a Haitian woman named Aimée, who is a housewife and mother. Although their backgrounds are quite different, the destinies of the two women are mysteriously sealed in the shadow of a third character, the earthquake in Haiti.

The writer and actress Anna Beaupré Moulounda was born in Abitibi to a Congolese father and a French-Canadian mother. In her first piece for the stage, she explores the struggle for identity by means of a conversation between two women of different ages and origins. This inter-generational and intercultural double dialogue gives rise to a truthful, authentic exchange delivered by two committed actors working in close collusion.

Under new artistic director Hélène Bacquet, the Théâtre du Tandem pursues its mandate to create original works in Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
