Notes on work

The playwright evokes, in several of his theatrical creations, the topic of the language. Indeed, in Matroni and me and Revolutions , it puts in foreground the strange co-education of the registers in Quebec, while making there interact characters of extremely different socio-economic mediums. It supports whereas any individual, it does not matter his cultural referents, can influence another of them in a major way. So Alexis Martin stresses the capacity and the power of the words, by leading the ethical characters to question itself on their universe and stakes which are essential on it. Altogether, for the author, the language seems to be, in these two parts, a means of release, assertion and blooming of oneself.

In another order of ideas, the author attaches also an obvious importance to the ancient history while reorganizing, with his way, of traditional such as the Odyssey and Périclès . Moreover, always in a historical prospect, Alexis Martin gives again life with characters marking still today mankind, while putting in scene, inter alia, the last days of Hitler in the part of the same name.

Moreover, in some of its works, Alexis Martin milked of the need which have of many people of our time to believe in something, it does not matter what it is. The Catholic religion having been rejected in block, they cling to any “idiosyncrasy” in order to obtain answers to their questions. It is this topic which is presented in the part Presbytère of north . In this part, a young coed of UQAM follows courses on the left and on the right in the hope to find answers, but notes that even the social sciences cannot satisfy this need. According to Alexis Martin, the “despiritualisation” fast of the Years 1960 and 1970 with the Quebec explains this kind of phenomenon.

The part Bureaux also speaks about spirituality. One finds there inter alia a sect basing his actions on the philosophy of Georges Bataille. These individuals badger a young priest in about thirty by their search with transcendence and profanation crowned. The mother of this priest is also present, expressing her shame to have a son member of the clergy. This absence of faith contrasts with the caretaker of the Galeries of Anjou, with the mounting of the least sign of the return of Christ. One tackles quickly the question of the Opus Dei as well as the alternative therapies.
