"La Palucheur:" Emotional, raw, and unapologetically queer theatre
More than a year ago,
director Eric Plamondon sat me down
and asked if I would do sound design for a play he was translating into French.
I told him I’d think about it, but did he know I didn’t speak French?
He said we’d figure it out.
Did he know my theatre experience was in improv, not scripted shows?
That didn’t seem to matter to him.
Eric’s a person who knows what they want and he had his sights set on my joining the team.
So I gave it a go!
Exactly a month ago,
the team met and began with a sweat ceremony, lead by three elders,
one of them the show’s guiding elder, Barbara Bruce.
I am so grateful for that day.
Then we got down to work in the theatre.
Lots of work.
