Francophonique
The Small, Long, and Complex History of Alberta’s Francophone Community — A Poetic and Musical Journey
Come experience an immersive celebration of Franco-Albertan history, memory, and identity, where theatre, music, and human stories come together. On stage, three actors and four musicians bring key moments from our collective journey to life. In an understated stage setting, original songs performed live and archival images projected onto a large screen interact with one another: past and present enter into dialogue, and generations see themselves reflected in the stories.

About the Show
Neither a history lesson nor nostalgia, this is a deeply human show—funny, moving, and heartfelt. It feels like a reunion for Francophones and a discovery for everyone else, performed in French with English translation projected on screen. You leave with one certainty, in the words of Jim Corcoran: “A living language is a sung language.” Be among the first to experience this original production before it embarks on its Alberta tour.
