"Performing Identities on the Stages of Quebec" explores the poetics and politics of Quebecois identity. Considering the stage as a metaphor of virtual communities and performance as a privileged moment of collective identity rituals, this study centers on three productions from the national, local, and international stages: the "Saint Jean" or national holiday; "Salut vieille branche" a street-theatre parody on genealogical roots; "Tectonic Plates," a bicontinental work in progress. Through multiple voices and theatrical framings, these performances from Quebec address the problem of minority nationalism at the close of the twentieth century."
