Je me soulève (2022)

1 h 28 minutes. Gracieuseté de Kanopy.

Vingt jeunes acteurs et actrices sont réuni.es en laboratoire par les metteures en scène Véronique et Gabrielle Côté afin de créer une œuvre collective pour l’un des grands théâtres nationaux. Sur une année complète, ils et elles fouillent la poésie contemporaine québécoise avec l’objectif d’en tirer « l’esprit du temps ». En atelier comme aux quatre coins du territoire, nous assistons au processus de mise au monde de Je me soulève. Quel peuple serons-nous à l’avenir ? Que peut l’art pour transformer le monde ? Pourrons-nous encore faire des enfants ? Insurgé.es, habité.es par la ferveur de ceux et celles qui rêvent de beauté, n’obéissant qu’à leur intuition, ils et elles érigent une ode à la vie. Et lorsque – coup de théâtre ! – l’une des leurs est élue à l’Assemblée nationale du Québec, la poésie se trouve littéralement mêlée à la vie politique du pays.
