Entends ma voix

Beyond the under-representation of minorities in mass media, the debate on equality now focuses on the very content of works. Among those accused of cultural appropriation, the show SLĀV, by Robert Lepage and Betty Bonifassi, sparked considerable controversy in Canada. Members of Afro-descendant communities denounced the lack of Black creators and actors in the show, which was ultimately pulled after only three performances.

In the tumult of this controversy, all parties spoke, sometimes even shouted, but no one truly understood each other. In an effort to advance this social debate, the protagonists on both sides agreed to speak to journalist Véronique Lauzon and documentary filmmakers Maryse Legagneur and Arnaud Bouquet. They held out their microphones to both the SLĀV artists and those who were shocked by their creation.

Through this documentary, the main stakeholders agreed to re-establish dialogue and speak openly, in the hope, perhaps, of reaching an understanding.
