Fugue Theatre is excited to present the in-concert, work-in-progress presentation of Les Filles du Roi, with a staged reading of this new Canadian trilingual musical, at the Orpheum Annex in Vancouver. This next iteration of the show’s development will feature a talented group of artists bringing the show’s original music to life.
In the summer of 1665, a young Mohawk girl, Kateri, and her brother Jean-Baptiste feel their lives disrupted as young fille du roi Marie-Jeanne Lespérance arrives at the French settlement of Ville-Marie. Recruited by the French government to help increase the population of New France, Marie-Jeanne soon discovers that her dreams of adventure have implications beyond her personal journey. Thrust between the competing interests of the Mohawk, French, and the British, the characters build a complex web of relationships that set the stage for the Canada we know today.
