“Rose in the Machine is extremely touching.”
Jeu revue du théâtre
English-language premiere
An NAC English Theatre/NAC French Theatre presentation of the Porte Parole production
Inspired by the writer’s own life experience, Rose in the Machine is the heartfelt and intimate journey of a mother seeking to understand her daughter’s autism, offering a compassionate window into the polychromatic shades of experience for families with neurodiverse children in Quebec.
In navigating the many obstacles thrown in her path by our healthcare and education systems, Rose's mother breaks through pervasive barriers to arrive at an enlightened epiphany, and ultimately, hope for the future.
At once intimate and epic, introspective and outward-looking, this award-winning play critiques the opacity of our social systems while rendering transparent the multi-hued world of the neurodiverse.
Are you a parent or caregiver of a young person on the autism spectrum? On Saturday May 4th, we are specifically dedicating the matinee performance to you!
We recognize the barriers your family might face in coming to the theatre, and to make your visit as easy as possible, discounted tickets will be made available, as well as a free inclusive arts workshop for your child(ren) and their siblings to participate in while you watch the show. For more information and to register for this special performance and workshop, please contact Aimee Bouchard, Learning & Engagement Coordinator for English Theatre, at aimee.bouchard@nac-cna.ca.
