Germaine

The mural Germaine, produced by Mu, is an evocative tribute to the characters of the literature of Michel Tremblay. The mural is part of Hommage aux bâtisseurs culturels series, a tribute to montreal’s cultural heritage, launched by Mu in 2010, which highlights the contribution of those whose creative strength has made Montreal an exceptional city in North America. Directly inspired by Michel Tremblay’s literature and its characters, the mural celebrates both the invaluable contribution of Michel Tremblay to Quebec literature and the typically Montreal cityscape he highlights, the famous Plateau.

The work presents several characters from Tremblay’s imagination: Marcel and his cat Duplessis, Albertine, Thérèse and Pierrette from Chroniques du Plateau-Mont-Royal; Hosanna; and of course, the Belles-Soeurs: Olivine Dubuc, Rose Ouimet, Marie-Ange Brouillette, Pierrette Guérin and Germaine Lauzon who gave her name to the mural.
