Down Dangerous Passes Road

Talisman Theatre presents the Montreal English-language premiere of Down Dangerous Passes Road by award-winning author Michel Marc Bouchard, translated by Governor General award-winner Linda Gaboriau. In an eternal moment of déjà vu, on Dangerous Passes Road, three brothers attempt to confront the consequences of their father's drowning thirteen years ago. Lines from his last poem repeat over and over in their heads: the same poem that spun round and round in the whirlpool that pulled him down. Struggling to break the cycle and striving for moments of frankness and lucidity, they repeat snatches of their conversation from that fateful day, over and over.
