L'Amour telle une cathédrale ensevelie

Presented by Le Théâtre français de Toronto and Crow's Theatre at Fleck Dance Theatre

Théâtre français de Toronto (TfT) in association with Crow's Theatre, is proud to present L'Amour telle une cathédrale ensevelie as part of Black History Month. This captivating play created by NOUS Théâtre will run from February 22 to 25 2024 at the FLECK Dance Theatre (Harbourfront Centre). The Franco-Haitian play, created by Guy Régis Jr, features the music of the renowned Haitian classical guitarist Amos Coulanges. The vocal ensemble Les Voix du Coeur joins this artistic adventure, bringing their passion for choir singing to this impressive fusion of theatre, music and emotion.

L'Amour telle une cathédrale ensevelie explores the lives of Haitian families and their quest for a better future beyond their borders. At the heart of the story is a young 'Intrepid Son', who undertakes a perilous transatlantic journey to join his mother, who now lives in Quebec. This intimate and poignant tale is interwoven with themes of love, loss and hope.

Guy Régis Jr orchestrates this show with remarkable mastery. He blends opera, theatre and music to create an immersive and unique theatrical experience. The show deals sensitively with the themes of clandestine migration, the desire for a better life, and the break-up of families. The staging is also distinguished by its aestheticism, with a splendid set featuring video projections, while classical Haitian music and songs in Creole (with French and English surtitles), performed live by professional Opera singers, enrich the theatrical experience.
