Théâtre Cercle Molière – Hippocampe

La pandémie du point de vue d’un papa comique et désemparé? Raconte!

Été 2020. Un père artiste dont les projets ont été annulés part en road trip avec sa fille de six ans, du sud-est du Nouveau-Brunswick jusqu’aux Laurentides. Au fil du voyage, il comprend qu’être parent, c’est dialoguer avec l’enfant qu’on a été et revisiter ses propres deuils.
Porté par Marc-André Charron, qui incarne plusieurs personnages avec simplicité, le récit se déploie sur la musique live envoûtante des musiciennes acadiennes Maggie Savoie et Sylvie Boulianne, dont les compositions originales accompagnent cette traversée intime. 

The pandemic through the eyes of a funny and overwhelmed dad? Tell us more!

Summer 2020. An artist father whose projects have all been cancelled sets off on a road trip with his six-year-old daughter, travelling from southeastern New Brunswick to the Laurentian Mountains. Along the way, he comes to realize that being a parent means staying in constant dialogue with the child you once were. The journey becomes an exploration of the inner landscapes we carry within us, and of the grief that is hardest to face. 

Performed by its author and actor, Marc-André Charron, the theatrical piece unfolds alongside the haunting live music of Maggie Savoie and Sylvie Boulianne, two remarkable Acadian musicians from northwestern New Brunswick and southwestern Nova Scotia. Their original compositions serve both as atmospheric texture and musical interludes. Accompanied by the gentle, luminous music of his collaborators, Charron seamlessly portrays the Father, the Daughter, the Girlfriend, the Mother, and a host of other characters.
