Description
Michelle Porter embarks on a quest to find her great-grandfather, the Mâetis fiddler and performer Lâeon Robert Goulet. Through musicology, jigs and reels, poetry, photographs, and the ecology of fire, Porter invests biography with the power of reflective ingenuity, creating a portrait which expands beyond documentation into a private realm where truth meets metaphor.
