In this piece, the author discusses Wendat dramaturge Yves Sioui Durand’s piece Le porteur des peines du monde and its live performance in downtown Montreal, a testimony of a wounded and assaulted life that refuses to die or to disappear, and reclaims the city’s waste land by calling forth “the intelligence of beasts and all things alive” and the “enduring message of the stars.” Followed by an interview with the playwright.
