Abstract

In 1971 “Le Théâtre du Nouvel Ontario” was founded in Sudbury (in the Northeast of Ontario) by a group of university students, willing to answer the questions “Who are we?” by the means of the arts and, specially, theatre. Those pieces of work were based on the everyday life (they talked about traditions and discrimination, but also about the possibility of a change for the better), were addressed to the young and the working class, and were written in the language of the region. Later, the authors as well as the public preferred more universal topics, and going to the theatre became an artistic experience. Nowadays, according to sociologists Laflamme and Mainville (2007), in order to get to know the people who go to the theatre, it is necessary to ask them about their likes, opinions and feelings. This methodology has been applied as the frame of work for the analysis of some data collected through field work among the French-speaking community of Sudbury in 2006.
