You Should Have Stayed Home is a MUST SEE.

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Wheeler and Aislinn Rose at Summerworks this August. What started as a chance meeting through the wonderful world of festival tweeting, turned into an in-person meet about bringing their company's show to Montreal. I thought it would be best to explain the show using Praxis Theatre's own words: "You Should Have Stayed Home is based on Tommy Taylor’s note posted to Facebook after his arrest and detention at the infamous Toronto G20 Summit in 2010, along with his girlfriend Kate. The note went viral and has been translated into 7 languages and appeared in 21 countries – a detailed, frightening and often funny account of the largest mass arrest in Canadian history. Tommy’s story of arrest without charge and 24-hour detainment in a cage has been covered by national and international media. One year later, he partnered with Praxis Theatre and The Original Norwegian to transform his note into a piece of theatre: A one-man play that includes a 12-minute scene with 26 performers when the action arrives at a cell in the Eastern Avenue Detention Centre." This show has received rave reviews across the country, it's one certainly not to miss!

De plus, nous avons le spectacles Perceptions Afflaiblies dans la MiniMain vendredi et samedi soirs. Et le retour de Confabulation samedi soir à 20 h. Pourquoi pas planifier une soirée de théâtre samedi soir avec trois options amusants !

À bientôt,
