La Nuit blanche de la poésie

Live with Marie-Louise Arseneault – from 12 a.m. to 2 a.m.

Borrowing the concept of 1970’s legendary Nuit de la poésie, this performance event hosted by Marie-Louise Arsenault (Plus on est de fous, plus on lit!, weekdays from 1 to 3 p.m. on ICI Radio-Canada Première) is a celebration of our words in all their forms – poetic, musical and social – by a wide range of artists, including renowned actor/director Robert Lepage.

This wild, exhilarating night will also feature poets Jean-Paul Daoust, Marjolaine Beauchamp, Raôul Duguay and Charles Sagalane, winner of the 2016 Prix de poésie Radio-Canada; actors Anne-Marie Cadieux, Kathleen Fortin, Francis Ducharme and Sébastien Ricard; Ogden Ridjanovic from the Alaclair Ensemble; and many more. The event soundtrack will be under the music direction of Jérôme Dupuis-Cloutier. The activity will be held in Beverley Webster Rolph Hall, from midnight to 2 a.m., and broadcast live on ICI Radio-Canada Première (95.1 FM in Montreal).
