Les ours dorment enfin Geneviève Billette | | photo: DR |

for age 7 and over
Sacha puts all his efforts into trying to convince the polar bears he looks after that winter is late this year. They spend so long waiting for the cold to come that, despite their keeper’s best efforts, the animals refuse to hibernate and start to waste away. Then Marcus arrives, a boy who is swept along on the winds of life. He hopes to find lasting shelter with Sacha. But how is the good zookeeper supposed to take care of him when his girlfriend has been away for almost a year and his bears need him so much? However, Marcus will cling onto this gentle haven of peace with all his might, even if that means getting on Sacha’s nerves as he tries to open his eyes. |
| Why the Reading Committee chose the play: This was a unanimous hit with LABOO7! We loved this wonderful, intense love story between a depressive father and his son; the anxious father, the adopted Marcus who presses his face to the glass, the insomniac zombie bears… It’s a powerful play full of poetry, humour and imagination! |
| First performed by Eldorado Theatre in Quebec in March 2012 directed by Stéphanie Lépine. |
