Toronto: Théâtre français de Toronto presents “Écoutez nos défaites: END” May 1-4

Wednesday, April 17, 2019

Assem (Gabriel Arcand) is responsible for finding a former member of the elite American commando unit (Thibault Vinçon) which eliminated bin Laden in the Abbotabad raid. He tracks his target relentlessly using elaborate communication and surveillance equipment. But his adversary has no intention of being caught: rather, he seeks to force Assem to admit his own sordid truths. Écoutez nos défaites END (Listen to our defeats) is a gripping story about spies determined to expose each other’s indiscretions and faults. What happens if you see yourself in the eyes of your adversary?

Laurent Gaudé offers us a sober reflection on the side effects of violence. With a surgeon’s precision, he exposes the lacerations of those bruised souls operating in the shadows, orchestrating wars.

With: Garbriel Arcand and Thibault Vinçon

TfT thanks its partners: Scotiabank (Show Sponsor), VIA Rail Canada (Season Sponsor), TD (Surtitles Sponsor) and Pierre et Mariel O’Neill-Karch (Show Patrons).
