The Maison Théâtre will welcome the public this fall. From rock concerts to feminist works, shadow theatre and a clownish play, the program promises to be rich in emotions. This season will also mark the return to the stage of the actress Eléonore Loiselle in J’ai jamais… and designer Karine Sauvé with Le Potager. Featuring a real family, the play Le musée de la famille will launch this theatrical season on September 23rd.
THREE ESSENTIAL PIECES TO AWAKEN YOUNG CONSCIENCES
LE MUSÉE DE LA FAMILLE
L’eau du bain
From 8 years old – September 23 to 25, 2022
Info: https://www.maisontheatre.com/spectacle/le-musee-de-la-famille/
In this performance featuring a real family, L’eau du bain knocks down the fourth wall and questions, with the audience, family ties. They invite spectators into the intimacy of everyday life shared between children and their parents. Biographical performance in which the family emerges as a unique work that unfolds in this museum with great pleasure and freedom.
J’AI JAMAIS…
Youtheatre
From 12 years old – November 1 to 6
Info: https://www.maisontheatre.com/spectacle/j-ai-jamais/
Teens will be served this fall with J’ai jamais… , a solo performance filled with magical realism carrying the torments of adolescence at arm’s length, in which Éléonore Loiselle occupies the stage in a masterful way.
TONNE DE BRIQUES
Samsara Théâtre
Ages 8 to 12 – November 17 to 27, 2022
Info: https://www.maisontheatre.com/spectacle/tonne-de-briques/
A true look behind the scenes, Tonne de briques is a large playground where a mother, father and daughter have fun transposing their own roles to create a play. Between fiction and documentary, the play blurs the boundary between reality and imagination. Real life becomes theatre and this family reveals the sometimes chaotic beauty of the bonds that unite its members.

LE POTAGER
Le Petit Théâtre de Sherbrooke
2 to 7 years old – October 1 to 16, 2022

A rock concert for toddlers conceived of by Karine Sauvé and Érika Tremblay-Roy, Le Potager features a greenhouse on stage in which a singer, a guitarist and a drummer are gradually revealed. Children let themselves be won over by the music that can be downloaded before or after the show.
