Events Description
A girl is born in the straw of a strange phantasmagorical car-wash stable, already faced with a vicious question of gender: How many skins and costumes will she have to wear over her life to don all of the feminine identities society has in store for her? The surreal ambiance evokes an astounding metamorphosis, a moulting: the tale of a woman on a quest for a skin the colour of freedom.
When her mother dies, a young princess dons a magic female donkey’s skin to escape the lecherous gaze of her own father, the king, who has already begun hunting for someone to replace the queen at his side on the throne. This chilling tale is of a bygone era yet deals with burning current issues, presented in a unique theatre setting that mixes poetry, set wizardry, and wild anachronisms. For an extra touch of boldness all of the characters are portrayed by two magnetic performers, Sophie Cadieux and Éric Bernier.
