OH, LA BOULETTE !
NICOLAS GENDRON | ON
A TUÉ LA UNE !
IN FRENCH
ONLY 2 SHOWS :
SUNDAY FEBRUARY 3 AT 4PM + SUNDAY MAY 12 AT 4PM
In a game of
hot potato, who will drop it, and who will keep it going? Whether between friends
or coworkers, with family or in couples, any parlour game can go awry,
especially since everyone think they can make up the rules. The closer our
bonds, the higher the price we pay for arguing with our fellow players. In an
era of polarizing current affairs, hot topics come up over pillow-talk and
around the water cooler that arise from dualities that can be ripped apart, or
that can rip us apart: left or right, north or south, migrants or non, French
or English, and the list goes on. Which side are you on? All bets are off, and
all mics are on.
For two
nights over two seasons, two different encounters could conjure comedy or
cringing. In this series of conversations taking place throughout 2018-2019,
the fourth wall comes down on comic, acerbic, improvisational, and polemical
themes that make headlines and power café conversations.
This project
benefited from a creative residency at Usine C.
