Camions (fantômes de la liberté)
Political
Playful
Currently being created
Welcome to your very own Freedom Convoy…in miniature. After the protests of 2022, the performer and artist of in situ theatre Mélanie Binette invites us in this singular and playful intergenerational experience. In the form of an audio ambulatory experience, each group of 4 audience member follows a young performer and their remote control truck around the parliament hill. The audience, earbuds on, can hear testimonies of all ages and political horizons, each with their unique vision on the concepts of social justice and democracy. What if the path to reconciliation was revealed by a child behind the wheel of a small remote control car ?
