Perreault was equally enthusiastic and talented as a painter. He drew or painted all his choreographies. In this extensive visual poem shot in high definition, choreographies, canvases, drawings and watercolours merge in a virtuoso display that reveals the perfectionism, vulnerability and daring of this man who, in the words of choreographer Paul-André Fortier, “played a prominent role in shaping the identity of Québec dance.”
