Synopsis
Come and discover the voices of Toronto authors — both the famous and the lesser known. They are the explorers who take pleasure in redefining our collective existence. In a rhythmic and festive happening orchestrated by Marie- Claire Marcotte and Maxime Robin, their writings cast an unexpected light on our city and serve as windows on an uncertain world. Whatever the subject, whatever the form, local artists celebrate the local through music, literature and theatre. They remind us that in this magical place once called Takaronto, “where trees take root in water”, the poetry of our language with its many flavours and accents remains the unifying force at the heart of our metropolis.
