‍SYNOPSIS

UN. DEUX. TROIS. is Mani Soleymanlou and 40 artists come from all four corners of Canada, Indigenous and Métis, non-indigenous,immigrant, all Francophones. It is an unprecedented creation in the history of Francophone Canadian theatre. Co-creators staging theirlived experiences, their ideas, their aspirations, and their frustrations,to better interrogate what makes us, divides us, and brings ustogether. To revisit our individual and common heritages. To dream,to dare, to hope. To believe in the value of each human experience and to brazenly clear the landmines off the fertile ground that we call identity. A show that risks it all, without speeches nor placards,without rhetoric nor empty phrases, to create a dialogue betweenVancouver and Moncton, via Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City,Toronto, Winnipeg, Caraquet and Sudbury.

From one accent to another. From one ocean to another.

CRITICS

Masterful. [...] Epic. [...] The trance you feel when you leave the theatre is well worth it. - Annie Dubé, mattv

The idea that a quest for identity is nothing more than a narcissistic journey [...] is also undermined in this sometimes frustrating, but above all fascinating play. - J. Kelly Nestruck, Global Mail

It's an excessively funny show. [...] At the same time very touching [...] Intelligent. - Claudine Hébert, ICI Première, Dessine-moi un matin
