Prima facie | À première vue

The Duplex, the hilarious comedy that triumphed in Paris, is coming to Quebec for the very first time! This play by Didier Caron, featuring the excellent actors Pascale Desrochers, Sylvain Marcel, Valérie Blais, and François Massicotte, promises a healthy dose of madness, bursts of laughter… and neighbours who didn't see it coming!

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.

They are father, sons, cousins, brothers-in-law; they are 23, 40, and 65 years old and have known each other forever. A small Egyptian-Québec clan has gathered in a cottage in the woods, with enough food to feed an army (you can never be too careful), and the group is about to celebrate Ralph’s birthday and enjoy the simple pleasures of the Laurentian forest. With the boys.
