Michel Tremblay, our universal storyteller, is one of the first playwrights to use Quebec’s dialect “joual” in his plays. This is how he brilliantly started our cultural affirmation. Whether you are familiar with his work or not, you cannot miss this fantastical saga. La traversée du siècle is the story of our Québécois mythology, the perfect combination of Tremblay’s plays and novels, presented on stage with no less than 20 performers, 75 characters and a whole century of history spread out on a 12 hour performance. Discover Alice Ronfard’s latest accomplishment, an hommage to three generations of women who built Quebec as we know it with resiliency and hope.

La traversée du siècle

Le Diamant Theatre

Michel Tremblay, Quebec theatre’s most cherished son, pays loving tribute to his own mother in this moving glimpse into the relationship that inspired him to become the artist he is today.

For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again

Centaur Theatre

Camille is 22 when she moves to Montreal. At the same time, her grandmother Pauline, aged 92, is placed in a long-term care facility. Each experiences an uprooting, a loss of bearings. Through visits, they tame together Pauline's decline and the crumbling of her memories. The granddaughter then decides to collect her grandmother's words, to let her tell her story before she can no longer do so.

Théâtre la Seizième

Camille was 22 when she moved to Montreal. Her grandmother Pauline was 92 when she entered a CHSLD. Each experienced an uprooting, a loss of bearings. Driven by an intuition, Camille recorded her visits and collected Pauline's words. For nearly four years, the two women tamed the inevitable together, to the rhythm of the days, of forgetfulness, of the crumbling of time and of daily reunions.
After a poignant podcast entitled Quelque'une d'immortelle , Camille Paré-Poirier adapted for the stage these exchanges between two people so deeply united, the starting point of a dialogue between generations.

Théâtre Périscope

Donkey Skin runs through the forest. What is she running away from? Who is she? In the middle of the darkness, a car wash lights up. It is the kingdom of her childhood. Her mother dies and, to escape her father's lustful gaze, Donkey Skin demands dresses that are unique in the world, as well as the sacrifice of her donkey, to which he resigns himself. She then flees to her Godmother, who subjects her to a series of trials and emancipatory rituals.
