Premiered at the Theatre San Martin (Buenos Aires) on July 6, 2011

Ten characters, directly inspired by Chekhov’s The Seagull, keep meeting each other but eventually fail to communicate. Veronese’s staging contracts time and space in a single set to highlight the characters’ loneliness. This modern version of Chekhov’s play encourages the spectators’ identification, and proves that The Seagull remains an inexhaustible text.

Gurshad Shaheman, Dany Boudreault
Sur tes traces

Theatre

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.
