After creating a surprise during the last TransAmérique Festival, the piece I like Hydro, written and performed by actress Christine Beaulieu, takes to the theater stage The Unicorn from August 30 to September 10, 2016.
An essential question about our relationship with Hydro-Québec
In this documentary theater piece, Christine Beaulieu recounts with humor, candor and sensitivity the circumstances and questions that led her to do her own research on Hydro-Québec. The play, skillfully directed by Philippe Cyr, pertinently questions what has become of the relationship between the state corporation and Quebecers over time.
Accompanied on stage by the versatile actor Mathieu Gosselin and the sound designer Mathieu Doyon, Christine Beaulieu brings together often opposing camps, convinced of the need to think together about the future of hydroelectricity in Quebec.
Interviews with representatives of numerous citizen groups – including the president of Fondation Rivières, Alain Saladzius – visits to dams, public hearings, meetings with senior executives of the state company: this theater of truth plunges directly into the heart of reality, into the belly of the turbine, thanks to a courageous, deeply committed artist, who does not does not hesitate to go to the most vulnerable fronts of our community.
