From February 17 to March 20, 1977, the play Le Cid Maghané was presented in the Octave-Crémazie Hall, seating just over 500 people. A parody of playwright Pierre Corneille’s play, this work by Réjean Ducharme features a Quebec version in joual, the working-class dialect of Montréal French. Yvan Canuel directed this version.
