Hanging Around the Berri Station with My Uncle Marcel [2000]
Original
Résumé In the midst of the beggars and the homeless of Montréal, a social worker
kills Dollar, the skylock, the abuser. Backflashes, an inquiry, and various testimonies
lead us into a desperate world where hope dries up in empty beer cans and cries are lodged at the back of the throat. Extrait « (Night time. Talbot is rolling himself a cigarette.) / TALBOT : Rosario! You there? / AMBROSE(Suddenly appears.) / TALBOT : Who's there? / AMBROSE : Your shadow / TALBOT : How's that? / AMBROSE : I'm your shadow, Talbot. I prowl around at night. / TALBOT, recognising him. : Ahhh! The social worker. Doing overtime at triple salary? / AMBROSE : Very funny… / TALBOT : So what are you doing here? / AMBROSE : Same as you, Talbot. I'm prowling. » Revue de presse "Dupuis succeeds in holding us spellbound right up to the
end, when the truth finally explodes with a powerful lyricism that renders this play a thing of beauty." Marie-Josée Blais, Québec Français, no. 83, Fall, 1991 |
