Palucheur at Théâtre Cercle Molière

Mike and J.R. have never met and never touched. But together, they can feel each other through their conversations. Their telephone cords become a lifeline. We’re transported to 1985 and the rise of the AIDS crisis in a period where death is an everyday matter, where people have risked so much just to love. By picking up the call from playwright Robert Chesley, we give voice to a generation marginalized by history. What we see on stage is honest, without shame and therefore transcends the sexual act to lay bare our humanity or lack thereof. It’s a moment in theatre that is gay and American, and at the same time, for everyone and Manitoban.

Please note this stage production is in French. English and French subtitles are available for all shows.

Director Eric Plamondon will offer a workshop about the play, at the theatre, on Tuesday November 28th, 7-9 PM.

Show schedule:

• Wednesday and Thursday, 7 PM
• Friday and Saturday, 8 PM
