Stories of four generations in the same family are delivered in the most simple way: voices are soft, six actors around a very long table glance at each other, they smile, they cry. They change chairs regularly, not trying to impersonate characters, only lending their voices. An epic of ordinary people who are trying to escape being worn down by everyday life.

Sur tes traces

The piece takes us a road-trip in the form of a double portrait involving two destinies, namely those of Gurshad Shaheman born in Iran, and Dany Boudreault in Quebec. Authors, directors and performers, the two artists got to know each other in Europe. Here, each of them sets off in search of their respective pasts.

Marion Duval
Cécile

TheatrePerformance

Certain encounters are life-changing. This piece is about Marion Duval's encounter with Cécile Laporte, an activist and author to whom she has decided to dedicate a show. The resulting 'truth-performance' is an inspiring one and enables us to embrace the unbearable complexity of the world in a light-hearted way.
