By Étienne Lepage
Translated by Bobby Theodore
In association with PTC, Ruby Slippers Theatre and Upintheair Theatre
“This is a trigger event of passion for young people…it’s pure, it’s charged with sensation, it’s very contemporary, with beautiful language…”
Claudia Larochelle, On aura tout vu, 98,5 FM
Dramaturged and Directed by Mindy Parfitt
Featuring Meaghan Chenosky*, Matt Reznek, Matreya Scarrwener* & Markian Tarasiuk*
In a bucolic, distant and dark universe, while the adults sleep, the young in the forest chasing each other like beasts. Love, revenge, confusion. A voyage to the end of night where age-old desires take hold.
Join us for a talk back with the playwright and translator after the performance.
This translation was commissioned with the support of Canada Council for the Arts.
