Programme Note
Synopsis
Broken-hearted Joan has been searching for her husband, Victor, for almost a year. One hung-over morning in a Walmart parking lot, she is drawn to a revival tent where the local Métis have been flocking to hear a charismatic preacher — and she hears an unmistakable voice. Has the mythical rogarou brought back her husband in a new form, without any memory of his past? Braving the spirits of the forest, as well as the insidious creep of religious colonialism, Joan embarks on a perilous journey to save him.
