SUMMARY:Les Filles Du Roi
DESCRIPTION:Trail & District Arts Council’s MONDAY CINEMA \nLes Filles de Roi \nat The Royal Theatre\, 1597 Bay Avenue\, Trail. \nMonday\, December 4th @ 4 pm \n$12/person – No assigned seating. Only 143 seats available. \nAdapted from the award-winning musical by Corey Payette and Julie McIsaac\, Les Filles du Roi (The King’s Daughters) tells the powerful story of a young girl\, Kateri\, and her brother Jean-Baptiste\, whose lives are disrupted upon the arrival of les filles du roi in ‘New France’ (now Montreal) in 1665. They forge an unlikely relationship with the young fille Marie-Jean Lespérance – whose dream of a new life is more complicated than she could have imagined. Over the course of a year\, Mohawk\, French and English journeys collide\, setting the stage for the Canada we know today. \nThis gorgeous award-winning musical in English\, French and Kanien’Kéha (Mohawk) has its theatrical premiere on the stage in 2018 to glowing reviews. Critics called it “a work of monumental importance”\, “heartfelt\, ambitious and tremendously earnest”\, “musically rich”\, “a linguistic adventure”\, and a “sumptuous reimagining of our history”. \nA deeply moving and unique work\, it’s a perfect vehicle that uncovers a perspective different from the one told by Settler culture\, one that redefines the Canadian narrative. Now beautifully shot with Payette’s directorial panache\, the work will have a broader reach for people to reimagine our history in more inclusive and accurate ways. \nFilmmaker Biography:\nCorey Payette is an interdisciplinary storyteller\, writer\, composer\, producer\, director in TV and film. He is a member of the Mattagami First Nations\, with French Canadian and Irish ancestry\, and lives on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish)\, and səl’ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. \nKnown for his deeply moving\, large-scale original musical creations\, Payette’s work challenges the public’s notion of what musicals can be\, inserting Indigenous perspectives and narratives into mainstream spaces\, igniting conversations that inspire social change. \nPayette’s work explores themes of colonization\, Indigenous language revitalization\, cultural healing\, reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples\, and the complexity of historic and contemporary Indigenous experiences across music\, theatre\, and film. Payette’s deeply collaborative\, multi-disciplinary\, and community engaged creation process has been integral in shining a light on stories that have gone unheard for generations. In 2021\, Payette received the inaugural BC Award for Reconciliation\, created to honour those who have demonstrated exceptional leadership\, integrity\, respect\, and commitment to furthering Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples in the province of British Columbia. \nAs a musical creator\, Payette writes the music\, lyrics\, story\, and directs his productions including his original stage musical “Children of God” (2017) and “Les Filles du Roi (The King’s Daughters)” written in English\, French\, and Kanien’kéha (Mohawk) with Julie McIsaac (2018). \nHe is the recipient of the John Hirsch Prize from the Canada Council\, Fleck Fellowship from the Banff Centre\, has won 3 Ovation Awards and 2 Jessie Awards for his writing and directing work. www.coreypayette.com \nDirector: Corey Payette / Cast: Kaitlyn Yott\, Julie McIsaac\, Raes Calvert\, Chelsea Rose/ Country: Canada / Length: 1 hr 41 mins/ Language: French\, English\, Mohawk / Genre: Drama/Thriller / Rating: PG Some subtitles \nMonday Cinema is presented by Trail and District Arts Council and screens at The Royal Theatre\, 1597 Bay Avenue\, Trail.\nAll films begin at 4:00 pm. \nTickets $12 at tickets.trail-arts.com or call the Box Office at 250-368-9669 Monday to Friday from 12-4 pm. \nOnly 143 tickets available for this screening. \nIf tickets are available\, they will go on sale at the venue 30 minutes before the screening. \nDoors will open 30 minutes prior to show time. \nThe Monday Cinema series is part of the Toronto International Film Festival Film Circuit and proudly supported by Wellington Altus Private Wealth Management and MP Wealth Advisory.\nOther films in the Fall Monday Cinema series are: \nOther films in the Fall Monday Cinema series are:\nOct 16 The Miracle Club – There’s just one dream for the women of Ballygar: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes.
