The National Arts Centre (NAC) French Theatre today announced its 2010–11 season, designed by Artistic Director Wajdi Mouawad. For his third season at the helm of French Theatre (following two seasons of truly memorable artistic encounters), the playwright, director and actor has lined up 18 productions, including three exclusive Canadian engagements and seven national and international coproductions.
French Theatre’s two previous seasons were presented under the banners Nous sommes en guerre/We are at war and Nous sommes en manque/We are in need, respectively. The catchphrase for 2010–11, which will accompany audiences on their theatrical journey throughout the season, is Le kitsch nous mange (“Kitsch is eating us”). Like a spotlight trained on our lives, this editorial phrase imparts a particular—and somewhat ironic!—flavour to the plays on the program, while photographs by Winnipeg visual artist Diana Thorneycroft capture and animate the spirit of the season.
For more details, please read attached press release or download the season brochure (in French) from our Web site at www.cna-nac.ca/tf .
