Haiti - Montreal : Dany Laferrière wax statue, unveiled at the Grevin Museum 10/06/2015 09:53:35
The double of Dany Laferrière is exposed sitting in a chair, holding his book "L’énigme du retour" (Prix Médicis 2009). He throne now with famous politicians like Jean Drapeau, René Lévesque and Pierre Elliott Trudeau and artists such as Louis Armstrong, Marilyn Monroe, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Céline Dion, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley... In his remarks for the occasion, Marc Laurendeau declared "Our members have proudly chosen to enthrone Dany Laferrière because it has long been a delightful writer, to the flavorful verb [...] A keen observer of everyday life, he seized the situations and characters he skillfully incorporates into its books and described with great accuracy Quebec, Haiti and the United States [...] Dany Laferrière will now be seen up close by visitors to the Musee Grevin, appropriate symbol for this writer that wants to be accessible."  For the Consul of Haiti "Dany is writing one of the most beautiful pages of Haiti and Quebec history, he just entered in the legend and immortality, the son of Petit-Goâve, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Montreal, Quebec, Canada and France and around the world." Recall that last year, members of the Academy had unanimously chosen Dany Laferrière so that he enters the Musee Grevin of Montreal in 2015. It took eight months to the sculptor Claus Velte, responsible for the realization of the head of Dany and craftsmen of workshops of Musee Grevin in Paris to reproduce Dany Laferrière identically in wax statue https://www.haitilibre.com/article-13020-haiti-litterature-dany-laferriere-au-musee-grevin.html See also : https://www.haitilibre.com/article-14038-haiti-litterature-dany-laferriere-a-l-academie-francaise-discours.html (in french) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14032-haiti-literature-rain-of-congratulations-to-academician-dany-laferriere.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14025-haiti-politic-martelly-pays-a-special-tribute-to-the-immortal-dany-laferriere.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14007-haiti-literature-dany-laferriere-received-his-academician-s-sword.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-13020-haiti-literature-dany-laferriere-at-grevin-museum.html S/ HaitiLibre
