La vie littéraire

Presented in French Alone in the arena, Mathieu Arsenault delivers his text in an uninterrupted monologue, his writing as the sole scenic device. Speaking of his era, he criticizes the cultural industry and confronts the public with its habits of consumption, but he also reveals the concern that lies behind our times: that of being forgotten, erased. With the complicity of Christian Lapointe, who had revealed the scenic portent of his writing in 2008 with Vu d’ici, Arsenault now reveals himself as a performer in a ricochet between living out a fictional figure, the investigation of the act of writing itself, an author's conference and freestyle acting.
