Segal Center to Present QUEBECOIS PLAYWRIGHTS PROJECT

Join the Segal Center for an evening discovering contemporary writing from Québec, Canada. Despite Québec's proximity to the U.S., productions of québécois writers are presented more regularly in Berlin, London, and Spain than in the Americas.

Québécois playwrights David Paquet (2:14, directed by Knud Adams, translated by Chantal Bilodeau), Sarah Berthiaume (Yukonstyle, directed by Tina Satter, translated by Nadine Desrochers), and Michel Marc Bouchard (Tom at The Farm, directed by Ed Sylvanus Iskandar , translated by Linda Gaboriau) will visit the Segal Center.

Introduction by Yves Jubinville, director of the École supérieure de théâtre, Université du Québec à Montréal. The reading is followed by a panel discussion with the playwrights, the directors, Yves Jubinville, and Brigitte Poupart (author and director, artist in residence at the Délégation générale du Québec in New York).

In collaboration with Centre des Auteurs Dramatiques (CEAD), a Montreal?based organization that provides support for playwriting development and promotes Québécois and Canadian Francophone plays and playwrights.

Curated by Emmanuelle Sirois/Québec, International Projects Advisor, CEAD; Visiting Scholar 2015/2016, The Segal Center, in collaboration with Antje Oegel.

With additional support from the Quebec Government Office, New York; Caroline Dufresne, Cultural Attache.
