Émile Proulx-Cloutier’s songs are like fairy tales, little films, express flights straight to the heart of bigger than life characters (children, old people, women, madmen . . .). Through them, the actor-singer-storyteller reveals himself. His words invite us to journey from tragedy to belly laughs, from the chaos of cities to the sea breeze.
