récit

Yves Robitaille will perform his tale L’île de bouche-à-oreille. The professional storyteller Yves Robitaille invites us to the event where unexpected faces from Montreal will be present. As curious as it may seem, he classifies storytelling as a form of visual art. He tells us storytelling is an art of making present to the to the mind of the audience scenes, faces, actions, as if they had seen them with their eyes. And when the story touches on universals, illusion comes to its peak. We laugh, we are afraid, sadness invades us, anger rises, under the effect of what was only words, rhythms, sounds and timbers of voice. Strange sympathy between the audible and the plasticity is the affect that Yves Robitaille invites us to experience.
