According to Loui Mauffette, the orchestrator of this madcap, constantly reworked score, poetry can be compared to “wearing mismatching socks, placing shirt buttons in the wrong buttonholes or kicking long-dead traffic lights back to life”.
From Marie Uguay to Nelligan and Patrice Desbiens to Aragon, the traditional poetry evening undergoes shock treatment in this joyous mess of words, unleashed and festive and brought to life by actors, singers, dancers and musicians.

All the senses are invited to this banquet of staged poems.
Spectators are asked to leave bad moods at the door.
