David Goudreault

Introduce Your Students to the Power of Words!

This introduction to poetic and engaged writing will teach young people how to play with words, perform a text, and express themselves freely.

About the artist

Poet, Novelist, and Columnist, David Goudreault is also a Social Worker. The first Quebecer to win the Poetry World Cup, he has published four poetry collections with Écrits des Forges and Mémoire d’encrier, as well as five novels with Éditions Stanké. His first show, Au bout de ta langue, has been performed 400 times in venues and over 600 times in school settings. His inclusion in the 2024 Le Robert Illustrated Dictionary highlights his role as a passionate advocate for the French language.

Following the success of his first solo show, he returns with a performance blending humor and poetry. Revealing the secrets of his creative process, the writer juxtaposes the great texts of the Francophonie with the ups and downs of everyday life. For the best and for the laughter.
