Pitié pour les vieilles chiennes sales
In an era of zapping and of virtual everything, Marie-Eve Gagnon’s play jumps wholeheartedly into burlesque, leaving nothing and no one unscathed.
Details
To unlock the collective subconscious of a society with no sense of responsibility and to debunk the apparatus of victimization, she brings together in her play Lech Walesa, Guilda, Aurore and her wicked stepmother, a pygmy acrobat, a superwoman, a former Marxist-Leninist, a sensitive ’90s guy, a little girl, a poor old woman who is dying, a golf player and a Haitian nurse. A meaty show, as impolite as a hormone rush and full of feminine lucidity.
