Gala in Saint-Eugène (L’Islet)
Folk gala in Saint-Eugène (L’Islet), 1998. Collection: Famille Marois-Langlois.
At the end of every gala, all the evening’s performers would return to the stage. Together, they played one last traditional tune. This video excerpt shows one such moment. It was also an opportunity for the audience to fit in one last dance.
