”Indiscrétions publiques” – Théâtre du Ricochet
9 August au 9 August 2024
Indiscrétions publiques celebrates its 10th anniversary! Each year, seven short, humorous plays written in French by Quebec authors are presented in the public space.
These 7 plays, in the form of dialogues, are performed by 14 actors.
To mark this decade, the Théâtre du Ricochet is offering a selection of outstanding plays from previous editions. Topics covered include the environment, feminicide, caregivers, bereavement, public breastfeeding and education.
On this special occasion, a poetic and choreographic piece will close the show, followed by a discussion with the artists.
