théâtre avec marionnettes / en anglais - première mondiale
Texte Olivier Kemeid
Traduction Judith Miller
Mise en scène Zach Fraser
Avec Chimwemwe Miller, Deena Aziz, Marcelo Arroyo

Sometimes flight is necessary, leaving everything behind in pursuit of a new place to call home. Kemeid's Aeneid is a dynamic blend of epic legend and contemporary reality. Rich with scenes of moving drama and sharp humour, Kemeid's version of this classic tale migrates the search for a homeland to the stark world of middle-eastern revolution. In this powerful and disturbing new adaptation the mythic tenor of Virgil’s original epic is infused with supernatural encounters and underworld spirits. An English-language Montreal première, staged for the first time using puppetry,The Aeneid explores the refugee experience in Quebecois writing.

Parfois la fuite est nécessaire pour survivre. Kemeid mélange légende épique et  réalité contemporaine, riches scènes émouvantes et humour grinçant. Il transpose le conte classique de la quête d’une patrie à la révolution dans le Moyen-Orient. Une adaptation puissante et dérangeante qui préserve la magie mythique de l’épopée originale avec ses rencontres surnaturelles et spirituelles du monde souterrain.

Talisman Theatre is a professional, award-winning, Montreal-based production company in its seventh season.
