A grand musical, poetic, and theatrical narrative!

Guérison (Healing) is a work by Joane Hétu (lyrics and music) for the Ensemble SuperMusique (ESM) and the Chorale Joker. This musical creation unfolds in three movements and addresses the themes of ordeal, pain, resilience, and ultimately, healing. To bring these themes to life, Guérison offers a rich and immersive sensory experience blending narration, music, poetry, theater, and visual art. The piece opens with the anguish of broken dreams, then evolves towards a chiaroscuro where acceptance and struggle intertwine. Hope, initially faint, gradually blossoms until the celebration of survivors; a grand musical feast closes the work. Although these subjects are serious, the piece is imbued with a breath of hope.

“These themes are particularly personal to me due to a life-changing event: in April 2021, my 30-year-old daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent 18 months of intensive treatments before being declared in remission. This personal trial forms the emotional core of the work. While deeply intimate, I believe the emotions and reflections it evokes have universal resonance. Every family experiences its share of dramas and tragedies, and it is this shared experience that my work seeks to address. For a long time, I have felt the desire to create a substantial work in the unique language of actuel music.” (Joane Hétu)

A presentation by SuperMusique in collaboration with Le Vivier, Suoni Per Il Popolo, and Joane Hétu.
