"Mathew Gosselin's Composition Dubbed 'Province'"
In the world of public health, Dr. Carole Morissette was a pioneer, dedicating her career to serving vulnerable populations in Montreal. Tragically, we report her passing. Her work, however, will continue to inspire and influence generations to come.
Meanwhile, in the realm of theatre, a play penned by Mathieu Gosselin, titled "Created at La Licorne," made its debut in 2012. This dystopian production, staged by Benoît Vermeulen, navigates between raw realism and liberating virtual, between mundane daily life and exhilarating mythology, between dark critique and hilarious caricature. It presents a world gone awry, on the brink of apocalypse, where a dozen characters form a community turned in on itself.
When the "provincials" in this play emerge from their inertia, they seek answers not in policy discussions or political debates, but in video games or animal entrails. These characters are anxious, individualistic, mistrustful, and at odds with the wildlife and flora around them.
While the play's content and themes remain largely speculative due to limited available information, it is clear that it serves as a barely distorted mirror of our disoriented era.
It is essential to note that this article does not provide any context about the current state of drug harm reduction efforts in Montreal or the United States, nor does it mention any connection between Dr. Morissette's work and the political climate in the United States. Similarly, the play does not provide information about Dr. Morissette's personal beliefs or her work outside of Montreal, nor does it mention any specific policies or actions taken by the authoritarian regime in the United States.
The play was written for the companions of the Back Bench, and while we cannot delve into its specifics, we can appreciate its timely and thought-provoking exploration of society's disconnect and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
As we mourn the loss of Dr. Morissette, we also celebrate her legacy and the impact she had on public health in Montreal. Her dedication to serving vulnerable populations will not be forgotten.
Rest in peace, Dr. Morissette. Your work will continue to inspire us.
In this disconnected society, one might find solace in the world of literature, seeking wisdom in the stories woven by thoughtful authors like Mathieu Gosselin. His play, "Created at La Licorne," offers a reflection of our era, delving into themes of culture and entertainment, exploring societal disconnect and the search for meaning amidst chaos.
As we continue to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Morissette in the realm of public health, it would be intriguing to venture into the world of books, exploring narratives that mirror her commitment to serving vulnerable populations, perhaps finding parallels between her dedication to society and the characters she might one day create on the written stage.
