Bypass road

Lisa is forty and wants a child. Her partner is infertile. But not Marc, her partner's brother. Marc likes Lisa. Time is running out... Brotherly betrayal and infertility meet in a modest motel room. As the biological clock ticks, the urgency to start a family increases, whatever the cost. Lisa's goal obsesses her, breaching her sanity without regard for Marc's feelings. The direction of the actors lingers on the unspoken aspects of this twisted relationship, balanced on a tightrope. "The incongruity of the situation and the act of committing it naturally give rise to some highly comic lines. The rhythmic, amusing dialogue is the driving force behind this minimally staged situation comedy." - Caroline Bertrand, Journal Métro

"Extraordinarily touching, I laughed, I was touched [...] Magnificent in his vulnerability, which he has the courage to present to us." - Rebecca Déraspe and Émilie Perreault, Il restera toujours la culture

"[...] masters the art of storytelling, possesses great humor and self-mockery, great sensitivity and a touching, tangible vulnerability." - Jordan Dupuis, Quartier Général

Théâtre Bistouri is a leader in contemporary theater, telling stories that bring people together. It's a theater that creates encounters of ideas, clashes of values through a blend of humor and drama. Théâtre Bistouri delves into the human condition, performing an autopsy and striving to understand it from all angles, good and bad. Theater that dares to talk about tough subjects. A sharp proposition that leaves an unexpected mark. A theater of black comedy and yellow laughter. A spirited blend of entertainment and reflection.
