You Won't Be Alone
La scénariste et musicienne Marie-Douce St-Jacques propose un cycle consacré aux sorcières et leurs multiples métamorphoses dans une variété de genres et sous-genres, en tenant compte des revendications féministes actuelles qui commentent cette figure essentielle et mythique. Une table-ronde animée par Valérie Lefebvre-Faucher de la revue Liberté complétera ce cycle foisonnant.
Set in an isolated mountain village in 19th century Macedonia, You Won't Be Alone follows a young girl who is kidnapped and then transformed into a witch by an ancient spirit. Curious about life as a human, the young witch accidentally kills a peasant in the nearby village and then takes her victim's shape to live life in her skin. Her curiosity ignited, she continues to wield this horrific power in order to understand what it means to be human.
