Tranzac, 292 Brunswick Ave
Revered in Quebec as a visionary poet-playwright, an original contributor to the 1948 Refus Global manifesto by Montreal's Automatist movement, Claude Gauvreau (1925-1971) is an artistic force. His innovative “explorean” language continues to inspire and provoke artists and audiences of every kind.
The Vampire and the Nymphomaniac, Gauvreau’s sole libretto, is a phantasmagoric love story of star-crossed lovers kept apart by the repressive forces of conventional society. Written in 1949 in Gauvreau’s inimitable, outrageous style, it premiered posthumously in Montreal in 1996.
