“One of Quebec’s most fierce pens, we feel the full force of Annick Lefebvre’s writting in ColoniséEs”
– Gravel le matin, ICI Radio-Canada

A revolution (quiet), a month (historic) and promises (betrayed). ColoniséEs reflects the embodiment of our concerns of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Present-day Quebec; troubled, anxious, resilient.

Four years after the success of J’accuse, author Annick Lefebvre is back with her inimitable and uncompromising style. Her theatre takes up the challenge of being as intimate as it is collective, as denouncing as it is redeeming. Recipient of the Michel-Tremblay Prize, 2019 and the BMO Dramatic Writer’s Prize. Shortlisted for the Governor General’s Literary Award 2019.

ColoniséEs premiered January 22 2019 at the Centre du Théâtre d’Aujourd’hui (Montreal), directed by René Richard Cyr. The play was developed with the support of the Centre des Auteurs Dramatiques (CEAD) and the Canada Council for the Arts.
