Porc-épic
It’s Cassandre’s birthday. There should be a party, but there isn’t. So she decides to invent ways to surprise herself. There’s the love affair between Théodore and Noémie. It should be an idyll, but it isn’t. So they decide to try to have a baby. It’s also the day Sylvain goes to therapy. Things should be getting better, but they’re not. So he dreams about a better life. Put these depressed people in a room together. It should be sad, but it isn’t, it’s actually funny funny funny! Winner of the Governor General’s Award as well as the Prix Michel-Tremblay, Porc-épic (Porcupine) is a festive tragedy where people of different stripes collide and learn to accompany one another on the road to loneliness, possibility and vulnerability. Because is it possible to touch someone without getting pricked?
