André Brassard

André Brassard (1946-2022), born in Montreal, at twenty-two staged at the Rideau Vert a play by Michel Tremblay that brought joual to the stage for the first time, then almost all of the author's subsequent plays. He directed the French Theatre of the National Arts Centre, in Ottawa, in the eighties, and signed nearly a hundred and fifty productions until a stroke, in 1999, that took him away from the stage. He moved into cinema with a short film, then with this feature film.
