La Bohème

Chamber music concert - Les Cordes Avides 2025

University of Montreal

Water has invaded the city. It seeps in everywhere, even to the stage of the theater where a precarious structure floats on which eleven girls and women, aged 5 to 70, choose to take refuge. Tremors, power outages, small and large collapses spin the plot of a cohabitation surrounded by catastrophe. However, between sisterhood and dissidence, the game invites itself. At the whim of metamorphoses sometimes worrying, sometimes joyful, the imagination of each one makes the absence of horizons drift. The water rises and with it the field of possibilities widens like so many grimaces at the rumbling threat.

The audience will be invited to vote and express themselves in all sorts of ways, they will play the role of Quebec society. Will they remain quietly seated in their seats? Will they rise up against the absurdity of what is happening on stage?
