Aalaapi | ᐋᓛᐱ– « faire silence pour entendre quelque chose de beau », en inuktitut – est une œuvre plurielle. C’est à la fois un documentaire radiophonique, porté par les témoignages de jeunes femmes inuites qui exposent leur quotidien entre le nord et le sud du Québec, et un spectacle théâtral qui invite à la contemplation, à l’écoute et à la rencontre.

Aalaapi | ᐋᓛᐱ – “to be silent to hear something beautiful”, in Inuktitut – is a plural work. It is both a radio documentary, carried by the testimonies of young Inuit women who expose their daily life between the north and the south of Quebec, and a theatrical performance that invites contemplation, listening, and meeting.

"We are honoured to present this important and engaging play, says Artistic Director Steve Jodoin. "The work from Collectif Aalaapi is must-see for anyone interested in the power of theatre to tell beautiful stories."
 
Aalaapi features Nancy Saunders and Hannah Tooktoo.
 
Created by Collectif Aalaapi Audrey Alasuak, Daniel Capeille, Mélodie Duplessis, Caroline Jutras Boisclair, Samantha Leclerc, Louisa Naluiyuk, Akinisie Novalinga.
