Joane Hétu - Elle a son mot à dire (2025)

Joane Hétu has had her say for a long time. An accomplished composer and astonishing lyricist, she has accumulated over eighty texts and songs in her notebooks and recordings. Here, she presents the recording of the concert “Elle a son mot à dire”, featuring new creations as well as well-known and unknown songs and re-orchestrated texts. A succession of musician combinations take Hétu’s words and make them resonate, propelling them into a whimsical universe that blends feminist discourse, spoken word and phonetic delirium. What will this word be?
