Patenteuses

Créations In Vivo presents PATENTEUSES, a brand-new Franco-Ontarian musical. Marielle, Lucile, Dorothée and Rita live in Saint-Cibole sometime in the nineteen-somethings. Trying to understand where their husbands keep disappearing to, they discover the existence of a powerful French-Canadian secret society reserved for men: La Patente. Founded in 1926 in Vanier, Ontario, this order operated in the shadows for nearly forty years to organize and protect French-Canadian heritage.

Our leading ladies disguise themselves as priests and infiltrate the order. That’s where they discover their heritage is in danger. Rather than staying home while everything is decided in secrecy and exclusion, they decide that heritage must be saved out loud, and set off on tour to sing it everywhere La Patente reigns.

English subtitles will be available for this performance.
*The best seats for viewing the English surtitles are in rows G and above.

There will be a Q&A session with the performers after the show.

This performance is presented in collaboration with the Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario.

La Slague's Evolution

La Slague is a Francophone concert promotion agency in Greater Sudbury, Ontario. Its history extends back to the 60’s and 70’s, when La Slague presented performers such as Félix Leclerc, Jean-Pierre Ferland, Cano, Renée Claude, Harmonium and Offenbach. La Slague went dormant for a time in the 1990s, but it roared back to life in 2006 as part of the Carrefour francophone’s programming. Today, La Slague has been officially awarded the title of best concert promoter in French Ontario!
