The Adobe Rose Theatre Presents: Bonjour, La, Bonjour by Michel Tremblay
Bonjour, Là, Bonjour is a story of self-actualization, of a young man (Serge) asserting himself amidst the maelstrom of his familys dysfunction. Recently returned after three months abroad, Serges two hypochondriacal aunts, a deaf father, and three of his older sisters an adulteress, an addict, and a letch seize upon him, expecting him to save themselves and the family from collapse. Meanwhile, Serges fourth sister waits in the wings for her own liberation.
Michel Tremblays play is presented in a non-linear style, with dialogue and scenes overlapping, sometimes in discord sometimes in harmony. In a Broadway World review, the structure is likened to a symphony, introducing themes and variations, changing harmonies, and weaving a rich tapestry that provides a portrait of a dysfunctional family.
Directed by Wendy Chapin
