Nuit de la poésie at the Gesù Theatre in Montreal, March 27, 1970: costumed musicians of the L'Infonie band prepare, Raoul Duguay reads and sings accompanied by the group (this shot contains no images). The moving camera shows the stage and audience. L'Infonie performs next; Walter Boudreau is seen playing trombone. Various performances ensue (very few images), a man yells and sings and accompanied by L'Infonie, another leads the crowd in a "poême à répondre" (call-and-response poem); a jam session is seen followed by performances of a cabaret-style repertoire. Partial image.
