250e anniversaire de la bataille des plaines d'Abraham

Quatre-vingts personnalités des quatre coins du Québec prendront part à ces envolées oratoires, qui formeront des blocs de quatre heures répétés plusieurs fois.

« Nous voulons que ces 24 heures contribuent à nous identifier, nous donner une mémoire, à nous rappeler le long combat de nos mots contre l'âpreté du paysage, les préjugés, les batailles. Ce n'est pas un événement nostalgique, mais un happening aux allures d'une nuit de la poésie. C'est une célébration de ce que nous sommes. » Brigitte Haentjens, metteure en scène.
