Once upon a time there were three brave children:
First, the wounded one, neglected by her parents;
Second, the trusting one, serene but far too obedient;
And third, the handicapped one, the object of cruel taunts.
One day they decided to make a break
For the great ocean, to breathe deeply,
To wash away hurt, fear and disability,
To follow their childhood dreams of freedom.
You grownups may still remember
Your childhood hopes and dreams.
And so we invite you on a little nostalgia trip
As we share the adventures of three brave children.
Welcome to the world of renowned Quebec playwright Réjean Ducharme. Here, everything is powerful: characters who are sometimes exaggerated, sometimes almost monstrous, expressing themselves in language at once unvarnished and poetic. The conventions of theatre are skilfully used to illustrate the tragicomic push and pull between childhood and adult experience.
