André Paiement (June 28, 1950 – January 23, 1978) was a Canadian playwright and musician.[1] He was one of the most prominent Franco-Ontarian artists, playing a key role in developing many of the cultural institutions of the community.[2][3]
Biography
Born in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Paiement studied translation at Laurentian University in Sudbury, and got involved in theatre.[4]
Paiement, with a group of artists that included Robert Paquette and writer and broadcaster Denis St-Jules, wrote and staged the musical Moé, j'viens du Nord, s'tie! in 1970.[4] The artists subsequently formed the Coopérative des artistes du Nouvel Ontario, which evolved in a variety of directions. Some of the artists, including Paiement, established the professional theatre company Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario.[5][6] Others, including Paiement and his sister Rachel, subsequently formed the progressive rock band, CANO-Musique.[7]
Paiement himself was active in both the theatre and band projects. His stage productions included Et le septième jour..., À mes fils bien-aimés, La vie et les temps de Médéric Boileau, Lavalléville and an adaptation in Franco-Ontarian dialect (joual) of Molière's Malade imaginaire.[8] He was also a key organizer behind the music festivals La Nuit sur l'étang and Northern Lights Festival Boréal.
Paiement died by suicide on January 23, 1978, aged 27.[9][4]
