Cispersonnages en quête d’auteurice

A group of professional actors with disabilities grapple with finding an idea for their next play. Every concept they explore is met with its own taboos and trendy trigger warnings. Can a woman portray a man, or an Italian if you are not Italian? Ultimately, can you truly play anything other than yourself? Is art more open to our many virtuous impulses, or is it suffocated by them?

Theatre company Joe Jack & John reignites the relevance of questions raised one hundred years ago in Pirandello’s iconic play, boldly choosing to provoke debate without walking on eggshells. Instead, they invite us to share in a lively and playful performance—one that’s so politically correct, it’s not at all. Warning: May contain sharp eggshell shards!

Audio Description: The performance on Friday, December 6 at 8 p.m. will be available with audio description for blind and visually-impaired spectators (in French only).
Relaxed Performance: The performance on Saturday, December 7 will be slightly adapted to ensure a pleasant experience for all audiences in a calm and inclusive environment.

This event will be presented in French.
