Paul à la maison
June 12 to 22, 20258 performancesThéâtre Jean-DuceppeAccomplished cartoonist Paul lives alone in his Ahuntsic home with his dog Biscuit. He recently turned 50, and everything around him is falling apart: his wife has left him, his mother has cancer, and his daughter wants to move to London. Even his apple tree is sick! Paul feels like time is catching up with him. But the time he spends in the wilderness, with no lack of self-deprecation, has a therapeutic effect, and little by little, Paul learns to let go and embrace his new life.
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.
