Toronto, January 16, 2012 – From February 29 to March 4, 2012, Théâtre français de Toronto (TfT) is delighted to have the chance to present Sylvie Drapeau onstage in La Liste (The List)by Jennifer Tremblay.
A “phenomenal, precise, touching” performance, says Voir. “A virtuoso of the stage,” according to Le Devoir… And a script that doesn’t “touch” but instead “overwhelms” the audience, according to its author, Jennifer Tremblay, who says she searched for a long time for the most effective way to achieve this before opting for short, clipped, and direct sentences: a style she says was inspired by email.
Onstage, a woman greets us, alone, in her kitchen. Her neighbour is dead. And perhaps through the fault of the one who, sitting uncomfortably in front of us, will tell us her story. "I did not lay a hand on her," she says at the start of the play. But did she even lift a finger to help her?
From February 29 to March 4, 2012 at the Berkeley Street Theatre – Upstairs.
Direction: Marie-Thérèse Fortin. With Sylvie Drapeau.
Production Team: Assistant Director and Stage management Stéphanie Capistran-Lalonde | Dramaturgy Charlotte Farcet | Sets Jasmine Catudal | Costumes Isabelle Larivière | Lights Claude Cournoyer | Soundscape Nancy Tobin | Props Julie Measroch | Makeup Angelo Barsetti.
