Part A: Survey
Part B: La Sagouine
When I learned that we would have to see THE Sagouine, I was suspicious, and not for nothing. This character is a proud hero of the Acadian nation. Acadie is a nation that is tore between their own French language and English. How can we be proud of the transformation of La Sagouine, a play that defends the survival of French in Acadie in THE Sagouine, an assimilated hero, a dead warior that lost his battle and the battle of his nation. La Sagouine presents a character who talks like an old acadian woman talks. That what makes that play a good play. The Sagouine presents a character talking in English like any other French would talk in English after being assimilated. So, where is the good part in this play? I think it has been deported.
