Le cas de Au retour des oies blanches de Marcel Dubé AB - The myth of Œdipus reversed? The case of Au retour des oies blanches by Marcel Dubé   Marcel Dubé forms part of the first generation of Quebec authors, and specifically Quebec playwrights, who have popularized the francophone theatre in North America. The apotheosis of his work belongs to the period of the Quiet Revolution in Quebec of the 1960s. Dubé becomes a spokesman of the entire Quebec people and the painter of the way of life of the inhabitants of this huge Canadian province. Nonetheless, he addresses universal issues related to intergenerational conflict, revolt, quest for identity, religion or love. The present study, based on the play entitled Au retour des oies blanches (1969), intends to analyse the dramaturgical functioning of myth, other form of “dialogue between texts and cultures”; to investigate sources of inspiration for Dubé, other form of rewriting and of intertextuality; and also to examine the structure of the play in order to deal with the issue of tragedy as a literary genre.
