· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Créée en 1984, la pièce de théâtre Albertine, en cinq temps de Michel Tremblay met en scène une femme de 70 ans qui, dans la chambre d’un CHSLD, ressasse ses souvenirs à différentes étapes de sa vie. À 30 ans, Albertine se doute déjà que l’immensité du ciel n’arrivera jamais à contenir sa rage de vivre…
Ce personnage d’Albertine incarne, au fil du temps, l’archétype de la mère québécoise catholique du milieu ouvrier d’avant la Révolution tranquille. Un demi-siècle après la Grande Noirceur, les femmes ont acquis des droits. Les mères et les familles ont changé, la religion s’est transformée, et la culture a évolué. Pourtant, la colère d’Albertine persiste. Les choix de lots et d’existences de ses enfants sont-ils si différents des siens ?
Cette œuvre unique, qui met en scène une femme entière en quête de liberté faisant face à son expression profonde et à sa relation avec une société hostile et étouffante, s’est imposée comme un choix incontournable pour le collectif de femmes dirigé par Nathalie Deschamps, metteuse en scène et productrice. Six chanteuses et cinq musiciens et musiciennes donnent vie à ce premier opéra en joual sur une musique envoûtante de Catherine Major et un livret du Collectif de la Lune Rouge. 
Car nous sommes toutes et tous Albertine…

Created in 1984, Michel Tremblay’s play Albertine, en cinq temps tells the story of a 70-year-old woman who, in a nursing home, travels through her memories at different stages of life. Even at the age of 30, Albertine already felt that nothing—not even the boundless sky—would ever be able to contain her lust for life.
Albertine’s character and the evolution she undergoes are that of the typical Quebec Catholic working-class mother from before the Quiet Revolution. Half a century after the Grande Noirceur—a period marked by rigid conservatism and economic stagnation—women have gained important rights. Motherhood and the family have profoundly changed, as have religion and culture. Despite all this progress, Albertine’s rage has not subsided. When it comes down to it, do her children really face different possibilities and challenges than she did? 
Albertine, en cinq temps tells the story of a complex woman reflecting on her life, grappling with past choices, regrets and the constraints of her personal relationships and a patriarchal society. Tremblay’s compelling character is the ideal focal point for this all-female ensemble, led by director and producer Nathalie Deschamps. Six singers and five musicians perform the operatic version of Tremblay’s play, which is the first opera in the Quebec dialect of joual. Set to captivating music by Catherine Major, with a libretto by the Collectif de la Lune Rouge.
Because we are all Albertine. . .
