Fanny

Fannya play by Rébecca Déraspe, directed by Marie-Hélène Gendreau, is presented in Sherbrooke from October 9 to 26. This show caught the attention of critics when it premiered at Bic last summer.

The two characters have polar opposite views of the world and will have to learn to live together. It is a co-production of the Théâtre du Bic and the Théâtre du Double Signe. With Marie-Thérèse Fortin and Alexandra Gagné Lavoie, among others…

This hill is never truly silent

We suggest you go see this piece created at La Chapelle last April, which was well received by critics. A production by the De la Chambre company which will be on display in the main room of the Prospero. Signed and directed by Gabriel Charlebois-Plante, who has already revisited works by Corneille and Rabelais, the piece is a rereading of the myth of Sisyphus designed with five tons of rocks and a single source of light! This hill is never truly silent is “an attempt to free ourselves from everything that weighs down life and prevents love for oneself and others,” we write on the company’s website. We should also highlight the work of designers Odile Gamache (scenography) and Julie Basse (lighting).

From October 8 to 19, at Prospero

Luce Pelletier, general and artistic director of Opsis since 1994, invited Sébastien David, Mélanie Demers, Martin Faucher, Olivier Morin, Geneviève Labelle and Mélodie Noël-Rousseau to work with her around the Macbeth by Shakespeare. Each evening, we will be able to see six different versions of the same scene from the play, performed by six different pairs of actors.

Plastic

There are a few days left to go see Plastica creation of the Théâtre du Portage, company in residence at the Théâtre Denise-Pelletier which “celebrates contemporary masked acting”. A dystopian play set in 2122 with the theme of ecoanxiety. “By delving into the sensitivity of imperfect but touching archetypes, Plastic is an attempt to tackle ecoanxiety by reconciling us with human nature. Like so many mirrors held up to the spectators, the archetypes of the play are recognizable, endearing and funny, nourishing the desire to take action for them and for us, Humanity,” writes Félix Emmanuel, director and co-author of the play , with Zoé Girard.

Until October 12, at the Fred-Barry room
