Quebec Theatre: A Return to History This Season

Quebec Theatre: A Return to History This Season

January 8, 2026 Marcus Rodriguez - Entertainment Editor Entertainment

Ô, Canada

La Bordée will launch this historic season in January with L’empire du castor (The Beaver Empire), a sweeping drama focusing on George Simpson, chief governor of the Hudson’s Bay Company at the height of its power,‌ tracing the expansion‌ of the fur trade and the establishment of a colonial political system north of the 49th‌ parallel. At a time when the past⁣ is being critically revisited, this creation by Jean⁢ Marc Dalpé and⁣ Alexis Martin will offer‌ a different perspective on⁢ the‍ creation of the ⁢Canadian‍ state.

More recently in time,Le Québec est un pays scandinave (Quebec is a Scandinavian Country) will resonate with⁢ a political climate that brings the question of Quebec’s place⁤ in Canada⁢ back to the forefront. This “intimate and political” narrative by Gabriel Samson I (Un chien en⁤ laisse ​qui jappe – A Dog on a Leash That Barks), drawing on theater, poetry and rap, will combine childhood memories⁢ with social reflections and a critique of cultural Americanization. At Premier Acte from February 17 to 28, the solo performance will‌ adopt a personal angle to better address the collective.

Unknown Episodes

La ‌Bordée will continue in March with the same past angle. A text by Isabelle Hubert, this time, will focus ‌on Gaspésie and ⁤the early 20th century. The salted cod sound, in this historical comedy, will become the pretext for an opposition between French-speaking settlers on the one hand and English bosses and prosperous merchants on the other. Directed by Jean-Sébastien ouellette,Le chiard (The⁢ Cod Sound) will revisit a ⁢little-known part of Quebec’s past.

Also in⁤ March, Le Périscope ‌will also offer the public a chance to revisit a lesser-known part of our history.‍ L’incroyable ‌et ineffaçable histoire de Sainte-Dignité-de-l’avenir (the Unbelievable and Unforgettable Story of Sainte-Dignity-of-the-Future) will bring the east of Quebec and the 1970s back to the stage, specifically the time ⁤when​ a large state plan had projected to close a hundred villages – a momentum⁣ stopped thanks to the aforementioned dignité Operations. This “sociopolitical thriller” by odile‍ Gagné-Roy and ⁣Steven Lee Potvin, in the style of popular theatre,

depuis quelques années, les pièces enchâssant la révolte et différents vécus​ féminins émaillent nos saisons‌ théâtrales. Ce sera le cas⁢ ici avec Bacchanale,‍ sur ‌le soulèvement de six serveuses dans un bar montréalais. Les Écornifleuses (L’absence de guerre, Dimanche à Sodome) font le pari que ce texte d’Olivier Kemeid monté en 2008 trouvera de nouvelles résonances après l’avènement de #MoiAussi, mais ⁤aussi ‌celui des trad wives et des reculs​ du droit à l’avortement au sud. Au Périscope du 31 mars au 18 avril.

Ce sera le cas aussi avec‌ Féminicides. Une histoire mondiale, ⁤inspirée de l’essai de l’historienne et féministe ‌française Christelle Taraud. Du 27 janvier au 7 février,​ dans le cadre du Mois Multi, la création multidisciplinaire retracera l’histoire des meurtres de femmes, des chasses⁣ aux sorcières à ⁣aujourd’hui. Dans la veine incisive du Théâtre de l’Impie (Opéra ⁤pour les sans tombeaux,⁣ La nuit du 4 au 5), ‍le spectacle, en phase avec une actualité violente, se voudra‌ un cri d’hommage à la résistance des femmes à travers les siècles.
