Moi et l'autre

A strike is on at the sawmill, reeking of sweat and lust. Beyond the picket lines, hungry eyes turn to Querelle, a worker who is impossibly handsome, perfectly free, and perhaps dangerous. Under the eyes of Jézabel, one of the few female workers at the mill, his provocative presence stirs up masculine desire and virility. Bottles fly and bats swing as rage explodes into violence. 

The second-year cohort of the Professional Theatre School at Collège Lionel-Groulx presents a montage of excerpts from three plays by playwright Olivier Kemeid: L’Énéide, Five Kings: The Story of Our Fall, and Revenge and Oblivion.

A true gem of contemporary Mexican theatre, Mi madre y el dinero (literally “My Mother and Money”) tackles work, theatre, and economics in a heady blend of social critique, tender lyricism, and political observation. It features director Anarcasis Ramos alongside his mother.
