Giant Mine is a co-production of Marie-Ève Fontaine and Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario. In 2020, Marie-Ève is in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. There, she learns of the existence of Giant Mine, located on the shores of Great Slave Lake. The monster is 237,000 tonnes of arsenic trioxide, a highly toxic by-product of gold mining. The melting permafrost has scientists worried: what will happen if the lake water reaches the arsenic cavities? A potential catastrophe for the ecosystem and surrounding communities.

Marie-Ève is bowled over by this story, which reveals the seriousness of the pollution generated by Canada's extractive industries. Is this mining venture worth the cost? What is our relationship with the land? Can we reconcile our material demands with an ecological stance? To better understand the issues at stake, Marie-Ève embarked on a cross-Canada investigation, from Yellowknife to Sudbury. Giant Mine is the result of this investigation.


*Optimal seating for viewing our English Surtitles can be found in rows G and up.
