"Neurinoma is a benign tumour that appears on the envelope surrounding the eighth cranial nerve that connects the ear to the brain. Untreated, the tumour eventually compresses the brain, causing death."
That cataclysmic diagnosis drops like a bombshell into a man's life, paralyzing him. From Sudbury to Rhode Island, from a childhood swing set to the garden of a poet, this autofiction work is where poetry engages in merciless combat, in an unexpected realm.
Warmly received by the public during a staged reading at Zones Théâtrales in 2013, this first playscript by Alain Doom plunges the audience into the intimacy of a man in quest of himself. It was created by Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario, which presented II (deux) and Quand la mer… at the 2013 biennual.
