Raôul Duguay est une véritable légende, une icône, du milieu culturel québécois. Tour à tour poète, chansonnier, philosophe, phonéticien, artiste…
visuel, il illumine le paysage culturel québécois depuis plus de cinquante ans et compte parmi les trop rares créateurs qui accordent une importance primordiale à la réflexion et au contenu. Proche de Gaston Miron, avec qui il fonde la revue Passe-Partout, il participe aussi à Parti-Pris , Duguay s'impose jour après jour, depuis 1966, dans le quotidien des gens, distillant une douce folie, d'apparence libre et inconséquente, mais chargée de sens et d'introspection. La profondeur de sa réflexion et de son œuvre sont majeures : près de vingt albums de chansons, de nombreux ouvrages de poésie et de réflexion philosophique, des collaborations, des essais, de l'expérimentation... L'auteur de la bitt à TiBi est une figure majeure de la culture d'ici, et au-delà du folklore que suggère parfois son œuvre, pour ceux qui ne connaissent que quelques-unes de ses chansons, on découvre une profonde intelligence, une réflexion structurée, un profond amour pour le genre humain... et une critique vive des travers de ces mêmes humains ! 2017.
