Fred Pellerin : De peigne et de misère (2015)

(8.5) based on 1 votes
In the census of the legendary Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, the barber is at the top of the list... The barber, Méo. He who held up shop on the main street for many years and who marked history with his curling iron. In the village, Méo watched over the general capillarity for a long time. To mess up your hair just right, it knew how to take head on all the proponents of the straight and monotonous parting. Genius bordered on madness. Or the opposite. I guess it doesn't matter. It held together. Show recorded at the Théâtre du Vieux-Terrebonne on February 15, 2015.

You Build The Thing You Think You Are

In 2018 Joz Norris had a breakdown that made him afraid to leave his own flat. In 2019 he was evicted from that flat and had to say goodbye to the identity he had constructed for himself in the eight years he lived there. You Build The Thing You Think You Are is an absurdist storytelling show about how we construct ourselves, about the accumulation of rubbish both in our heads and in our homes, about feeling more at home in your mind than in your body, and about the struggle to ever share any of this stuff with another human being. It's about a Romanian Troll/Goblin thing who just wants to sing the hits and learn how to dance; about a Van Morrison gig that accidentally came to be the cornerstone of a personality; and about a gong bath so profound that it caused someone's spine to grow by two inches.
