Toronto: Populi Ludique Societas presents a double bill about “Problematic Men” November 16-17

Monday, October 28, 2019

Welcome to the twelfth century, where everyone is noble, wise and good. Except these guys…

Poculi Ludique Societas & Pneuma Ensemble present:

Problematic Men

Babio, an elegiac comedy

Samson dux fortissime, a lai/sequence/planctus


About

In this performance Pneuma Ensemble takes the moral high ground and introduces two twelfth-century “negative exemplars”—characters who showed audiences how not to behave. We will meet Babio, a vile old priest in hot pursuit of his stepdaughter and Samson, the original strong-but-dumb hero. Performed in the original Latin, with supertitles, mime, mask, and period-appropriate instruments.

When

  • Saturday, November 16 at 8pm
  • Sunday, November 17 at 2pm

Where

Luella Massey Studio Theatre, 4 Glen Morris St, Toronto
