Le figuier is the fictionalized biography of a Lebanese emigrant whose strong personality had made her a living legend. At the beginning of the 20th century, she divorced her husband to follow the path of a strange dream. This dream brought her to Canada, where she found unexpected love and an unexpected family. This is an intimate tale of love, poetry and wonder. It salutes the courage and generosity that enable human beings to help each other in the face of adversity, and pays tribute to the power of the spoken word. Audiences are always deeply moved

For Jacques Falquet, storytelling is a journey into the mystery of the world. I tell stories to share my questions, my anguish and my hope, as well as the sadness and joy I feel when confronted with the mystery of the world. I like serious tales, from the depths of the ages, those that remind me that I am in danger, with poetry and humor, without masking either the ugliness or the beauty." He puts on his storytelling shoes to juggle emotions, humor and wisdom, to open the imagination and touch the heart. He lets the chance of discovery and the passion of encounters shape his repertoire, which includes tales from around the world as well as his own creations.
