Pélagie

Pélagie is a Canadian epic musical written by Allen Cole and Vincent de Tourdonnet. It is based on the 1979 novel Pélagie-la-Charette by Acadian writer Antonine Maillet. It is about the Acadian widow Pélagie LeBlanc who in the late 1770s led her Acadian people back to Grand Pré from the American South, where they had been deported in 1755.
