Fé·e·s sans foi

Talk back after the show The performance on Tuesday January 30 will be followed by a discussion with the artist. Presented as part of the WILDSIDE Festival in partnership with the Centaur Theatre and La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines. Sick of seducing, of appeasing and pleasing, these ungendered fantastical limp-wristed fairies dream of a new realm at the edge of reality, sans the enormity of normality. Adrift towards this undefined destiny, their vibrating bodies and voices assert their aspirations to the point of flouting their faith. Paying homage to the traditions of musicals and camp, Fé·e·s sans foi is a queer dance musical. Sick of seducing, of appeasing and pleasing, these ungendered fantastical limp-wristed fairies dream of a new realm at the edge of reality, sans the enormity of normality. Adrift towards this undefined destiny, their vibrating bodies and voices assert their aspirations to the point of flouting their faith. Paying homage to the traditions of musicals and camp, Fé·e·s sans foi is a queer dance musical. Both through its hybrid form and subject matter, Fé·e·s sans foi invites us to rethink conventions and release norms so we can open a universe in which fairies have the right to exist. Simon Renaud and Georges-Nicolas Tremblay encounter each other with tenderness. They become characters in a musical, blurring their identities, growing closer, an intimacy of consent that forms at the margins. With eight original songs written by Georges-Nicolas, and composed by Tristan Alantar and Romain Camiolo, this show searches for contours of identity within the nebulous Francophone queer culture. It asks, if we were fairies, could we finally live our own tale?
