A Grand Musical, Poetic, and Theatrical Narrative

Une présentation de SuperMusique en collaboration avec Le Vivier, le Suoni Per Il Popolo et Joane Hétu.

Guérison is a work by Joane Hétu (words and music) created for Ensemble SuperMusique (ESM) and the Chorale Joker. This musical creation unfolds in three movements, exploring themes of hardship, pain, resilience, and ultimately, healing. To bring these themes to life, Guérison offers a rich, immersive sensory experience that blends storytelling, music, poetry, theater, and visual art.

The piece begins with the anguish of shattered dreams, transitioning into a chiaroscuro where acceptance and struggle intertwine. Hope, initially fragile, gradually blossoms, culminating in a celebration of survivors—a grand musical festivity closes the work. Though the subjects are profound, the piece is infused 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.”
