Michel Marc Bouchard, a noted Canadian playwright and the author of a successful film by Xavier Dolan, tells the story of a family that is incapable of expressing genuine feelings and is trapped in an endless loop of abusive behaviour. Simone Schinocca directs this contemporary play, in which the formal ritual of introducing the main character’s girlfriend to his relations sparks off long-standing family dynamics.
