Comment s'orienter dans une époque marquée par des bouleversements écologiques sans précédent, auxquels, manifestement, ni les États ni le capital…
ne pallieront? Comment agir politiquement à l'ère de l'inouï, quand on ne dispose d'aucun pendant historique pour appréhender les catastrophes annoncées? Comment s'engager quand l'extrême droite sème la confusion et détourne la colère des objets réels? Comment s'y prendre quand le libéralisme dissout tous nos repères dans la gouvernance technocratique? "Que faire?" Cette question obnubile la pensée politique depuis plus d'un siècle. Alain Deneault nous convie à en penser les prémisses et les incidences pour l'ancrer dans les temps présents. Hors de toute programmatique serrée, mais avec la lucidité qu'on lui connaît, il invite notamment à explorer un nouveau mode d'engagement politique, la biorégion. Alors que faire? Livrer la guerre à la médiocratie. Évoquer les enjeux qui fâchent. Penser à l'échelle collective. Mal faire les choses, faire mal. Cesser de se poser la question et sortir de la sidération de l'écoanxiété. Le moment est venu de faire que!

“The map of the land is in our blood.”A woman trawls the bottom of a riverbed with a makeshift plough,…
hoping to dislodge something—anything. The world has drastically changed: rivers run dry, rampant bushfires leave little left to burn. Still she persists searching for the stories of her loved ones, maybe even her own. She is not alone—an ancestor watches nearby. This desolate landscape is about to unearth its long-held secrets.Inspired by the grassroots organization Drag the Red, which searches for evidence of missing Indigenous and settler women, girls, 2 Spirit, and people of all genders in the Red River of Treaty One Territory, this ethereal and engrossing drama is a profound offering to those who persevere in spite of sorrow. Told in Anishinaabemowin, English, and French, Tara Beagan’s prophetic play draws a direct connection between the treatment of Indigenous peoples and the abuse inflicted on the land. Fluid and majestic like the river itself, Rise, Red River is an invocation, a revelation, and a call to action.
