L'Archange promises to deliver a provocative punch!

L'Archange presented by Le Défibrillateau in French at Theatre Saint Catherine from March 30 to April 4. Featuring Maude Desbois as L'Archange and Philippe Mangerel (who is also the playwright) as Le Torturé. Directed by Marl Chikhani.

The play is a monologue with two actors on stage, one delivers the dialogue and one is bound and gaged to an office chair. They are both locked away in a sky scraper. The Archangle is enigmatic and furious, sometimes cheerful sometimes childish, sometimes forgiving yet very cruel. She (Maude Desbois) is costumed ambiguously as a male in a white shirt and a black suit. The captive is caked in prosthetics of blood covered oozing wounds and tattered clothes. The stage set is heavily filled, with wooden ladders and planks and a chair, also a chest filled with wires and explosives.

The raw writing style moves forward at a quick pace and never turns back, unforgiving, without trepidation never turning away the contradictions that are opposed, it draws the portrait of a character with multiple personalities who believes in the convictions and founded good of the actions. Imagine it's one of those very uncomfortable moments in a Tarantino film, when you can anticipate the outcome but you still watch and wait for it to happen. However unlike one of those scenes in those films that last only a few minutes, here you'll be sitting and watching this visual unfold for over 45 minutes. How do you like your torture?! Tickets 15$ Admission 514 790-1245.
