A dynamic stage performer and poet, Alphonse Bisaillon presents “t.o.m. ou la trajectoire des perséides,” a surprising and moving show that explores his past as a young boy from a rural community. This odyssey invites audiences to dance while reflecting on our times and the male role models offered to young men. On stage, six musicians and friends transform his energy into music. Ranging from jazz to dubstep, his eclectic songs remain rooted in the power of words, giving poetry a tangible form. In this theatrical and literary universe, Alphonse encounters t.o.m.—by turns friend, love, brother and mirror, both a counterexample and a role model: the magnetic silhouette of what every man might become.
