JUNE 7

MAIN STAGE THEATRE

BOUÉE
de Céleste Godin

Satellite Théâtre

Bouée, a show with a penchant for cynical existentialism and a monctonian perspective, tackles the biggest questions of our time: what is humanity's place in an infinite cosmos? Are we alone, or is there life elsewhere? Who, in the end, has left the light on?

An effervescent, hybrid work, Bouée explores the absurd space between humanity's everyday anxieties and the potential of its interstellar ambitions. Perhaps the link between the infinitely large and the incredibly small is ultimately us.

Using live cameras, (almost) sci-fi movie-Esque tricks, scale models and fishing line, Bouée is the most technologically imposing work Satellite Théâtre has ever created. Katrine Noël and Xavier Richard’s musical co-compositions move back and forth between a retro 8-bit sound and languid Patsy Cline-like ballads.

In their second play, after the incandescent OVERLAP, Céleste Godin digs deeper into questions about the intimate and the collective in their own abrasive yet benevolent style.
