In this latest episode of our Si Chants Libres m’était conté series, Pauline Vaillancourt takes us into the realm of techno opera with a powerful, alienating work. Alain Thibault’s hypnotic music and Yan Muckle’s visionary libretto combine to make this work what Wajdi Mouawad describes as “a key moment in my life as an artist”.
