Janette

They carry us through the years, evoking milestones in Janette’s life, which revolutionized women’s lives and woke up all of Québec. Janette Bertrand had the courage to open up a new conversation, a transgressive conversation; she moved beyond prejudice and stared down taboos; she defended her convictions and called out injustices. A captivating, vibrant theatrical portrait, written by one of the most prolific and talented authors of her generation, working with Janette Bertrand herself and with Duceppe's artistic co-director Jean-Simon Traversy as director, "Janette" shines a light on the inestimable legacy of this pioneer and is an incredible opportunity to pay tribute to her while connecting with our history as a society.
