Blanche arrives at the apartment of her younger sister Stella like a shipwreck survivor clinging to a lifeboat: with what remains of her will and at risk of capsizing everything.

Theatre, an art form that brings people together

Duceppe boasts over 50 years of stories told through striking productions and a unique approach to theatre that creates a powerful connection with the audience. This was the mission embraced by artistic directors David Laurin and Jean-Simon Traversy when they took charge of the programming.

The result is an annual theatre season filled with original creations presented as premieres within the walls of Place des Arts. Duceppe also offers tours that bring the shows to all corners of the province. This allows them to reach nearly 100,000 people year after year, all while shining a spotlight on current ideas and opinions through entertainment.
