On April 25, 2024, before the opening of Rose et la machine, Mani Soleymanlou was joined by Annabel Soutar, playwright and artistic director of Porte Parole, and Édith Patenaude, the show’s director, in the NAC Salon. Among other things, they described the various stages in the creation of this play written by Maude Laurendeau, and candidly answered their host’s questions about theatre, politics and freedom.
