Laurence Dauphinais, a French-speaking Quebec theatre-maker, works regularly with Francophone and Anglophone artists and asks herself why these two communities seem to ignore each other. With the help of collaborators on both sides of the language barrier, following a meticulous research protocol, Laurence delves into the history of Montreal theatre and its audiences, to take spectators on an unprecedented journey through the city, time and space.
As we delve into the archives of theatre in Montreal you will be whisked between the two locales on a bus for an experience that asks the question, why are we so divided?
An exciting, historical event that joins two theatres: One English, one French, in a 360-degree view of our city. Brought to us by award-winning bilingual artist Laurence Dauphinais, this bilingual documentary theatre piece takes place in 3 locations: Centaur Theatre, Centre du Théâtre d’Aujourd’hui, and a bus – complete with a tour guide – that travels from one theatre to the next.
Like the beloved cycloramas of days gone by, this play offers audiences a panoramic look at the city and its history.
