Theatre Highlights for September and October
Philippe Soldevila, the artistic director of Théâtre des Petites Âmes, is set to stage the thought-provoking solo show Demain, je serai personne in Quebec City from September 30 to October 18. Meanwhile, at Théâtre Denise-Pelletier, the allegorical play Rhinoceros by Eugène Ionesco will run from September 24 to October 18.
Marie-Ève Milot directs the cast of Anna Beaupré Moulounda, Lamia Benhacine, Zoé Boudou, Renaud Lacelle-Bourdon, Christophe Payeur, and Gabriel Szabo in the production of Rhinoceros. In this play, the inhabitants of a small town transform into rhinoceroses, reflecting political circumstances characterized by rising authoritarianism, societal conformity pressures, and threats to individual freedoms prevalent globally during that period.
Rhinoceros is an allegory of totalitarianism, offering a timely reflection on current political climates. The show is not just a mere spectacle; it serves as a mirror to our society, inviting audiences to question and reflect on the state of their own world.
In a different vein, Demain, je serai personne delves into the thoughts of a young woman who has done something unacceptable. Sarya Bazin interprets her own play, offering a raw and emotional portrayal of guilt, regret, and the human capacity for redemption.
For a more light-hearted and whimsical experience, 'Sciences Po 101' is back on stage from September 24 to October 12. This play, created by Théâtre des Petites Âmes' artistic director in collaboration with theater students from the École de théâtre professionnel du collège Lionel-Groulx, follows a girl exploring a secret world under a hill. The performance combines theater and puppets, making it an ideal choice for young children.
Meanwhile, at Salle Réjean-Ducharme, Emmanuel Frappier stages Petits morceaux de foudre from September 25 to October 4. This creation by Lauren Hartley examines how anger can derail a friendship, offering a poignant exploration of human relationships and emotions.
Lastly, Catherine Dorion continues the tour of her documentary show titled 'Traité d'insoumission à l'usage du vrai monde'. Inspired by her parliamentary experience and that of her co-interpreter, Vincent Massé-Gagné, this performance offers spectators-citizens Dorion's vision of the political system and her hopes for our democracy. 'Traité d'insoumission à l'usage du vrai monde' is showing at various venues across Montreal, including Théâtre Desjardins, Centre Segal, Théâtre du Rideau Vert, Maison de la culture Mercier, and Jardin botanique.
The play It's not the bruise, it's the concealment addresses apparent attempts to hide the bruises of President Trump. This show is currently running at various venues across Montreal, providing a thought-provoking commentary on power, politics, and the human condition.
With these diverse offerings, the theatre scene in Montreal promises an engaging and thought-provoking season for audiences of all ages and interests.
