The Soul of the Poet

Margie Gillis

When legends meet. In an exceptional collaboration, the inimitable choreographer Margie Gillis pays tribute to the renowned poet and singer Gilles Vigneault.

The songs and poems that have rocked generations of Quebecers set the tone for the nine-person ensemble in a series of tableaux where poetry can be seen and heard. In a refined setting, the two geniuses—and friends—merge to deliver a vivid message of humanity and nature. An hour with some of the most illustrious artists of our time—what more could you ask for?
