La Chanson de l'éléphant Nicolas Billon | | photo : DR |
| | | Dr Lawrence, a renowned psychiatrist, has disappeared from his office. The last person to have seen him is Michael, a patient troubled by a strange obsession with elephants. The director of the hospital decides to question Michael, ignoring the warnings from his head nurse. Michael talks about elephants and opera — hinting at a murder plot. The young patient leads the director into a trap where the stakes are no less than life and death. |
| ‘‘[Nicolas Billon] knows how to build a story and surprise you with every line, and he’s got substance. La Chanson de l’éléphant stands on its own. The fact that this is his first play is incidental.’’
Anne-Marie Cloutier, La Presse
‘‘A standoff behind closed doors that is gradually unlocked, leading to a surprising and moving denouement, La Chanson de l’éléphant is a well-written and well-designed play that has audiences on the edge of their seats.’’
Dominique Lachance, Journal de Montréal
