?? 6.30 pm, Event announcement!

Featuring Grégoire Courtois, with a special appearance by Tristan Saule

A man of the theatre and a bookseller, Grégoire Courtois has already produced a substantial body of work, most of which has been published by the Quebec-based publishing house Le Quartanier.

“Everything in this world is connected, and only human beings are unaware of it.”

In a village, a child discovers at a very early age that nature speaks to him. An aggressive dog that suddenly calms down, night-blooming flowers that open in broad daylight, a swarm of butterflies emerging from the undergrowth, roots tracing strange words beneath the stones… Everything seems to whisper around him, watching over him, warning him, protecting him. As he grows older and drifts apart from his friend Noémie, the forest near his family home becomes his main refuge… until the day his fate becomes intertwined with that of a mysterious little girl, who is also at one with the plant world: the grey-haired child.
