This documentary was designed as a work of art in the rather unconventional style of artist Herménégilde Chiasson. The film uses as its starting point a constraint, that of using each of the letters of Herménégilde’s name, and offers us a set of fragments illuminating various aspects of his life and work.
No one has contributed more to the growth of the cultural life of contemporary Acadie than multidisciplinary artist Herménégilde Chiasson. For 50 years, he has enriched literature, theatre, the visual arts, and film with his creations and his presence. A major figure who is strongly committed to bringing Acadie into modernism, a prominent advocate of the arts in all their forms, Chiasson has been, and continues to be, at the forefront of cultural and artistic organizations that have laid the foundation for modern Acadie.
