Five years old and all of its teeth!

The 5th edition of the Festival Voix d’Amériques (FVA), February 10 to 17, 2006,
was a roaring success—proof once again that celebrating oral literature, text
performance and spoken word belongs in Montréal.
The Festival gambled and won on its guest of honour, Tomson
Highway, hitherto unknown to Francophones here. Recognized around the
world as the best Aboriginal writer in Canada and certainly one of its best
playwrights, Tomson Highway is a stranger to Quebec no longer. Audiences were
delighted with his stories—both epic and emotional, as well as his songwriting,
performed by one of the revelations of this year’s FVA, the young singer and actor
Patricia Cano.
Spoken word, music… and daring, always daring!
