Carl is afraid to sleep—his life turned upside down one night when he slept too long. In his taxidermy workshop, he’s finding it harder and harder to get things done, and the stuffed and mounted animals all around him seem on the verge of coming alive—as if Carl were gradually losing the ability to distinguish between dream and reality, life and death.
Fuir le corbeau reveals the more fantastical side of playwright Matthieu Girard, author of Les Beignes (also featured at this year’s Zones Théâtrales.) The reading is directed by Maxime Robin, in an interprovincial blind date between an Acadian playwright and a Toronto-based director.
