SLAGUE – L’histoire d’un mineur (Spitting Slag) is a shocking and intelligent piece, scathing, and moving, eloquently written with a certain musicality to its rhythm and lyricism. Frank, direct language, sometimes crude, emitting a strangled cry in a universe that seems strangely like Jean Marc Dalpe’s. In Mansel Robinson, Jean Marc Dalpé has found a colleague. His robust works, with their brawny, virile poetry, hoist themselves to the rank of Canadian classics. Dalpé is the translator designated to showcase the drama of this Northern Ontarian, just as he brilliantly did with Trains fantômes (Ghost Trains), a production of Théâtre Triangle Vital.
