La tragédie du Brise-Glace

About

Created by Brandon Fortin | Produced by Tap Théâtre | Origin: Ottawa, Ontario

Aboard the Ice-Breaker, Captain Hubert Kizmo sets sail with two close friends and three sailors still new to the waves. Stuck in a frozen ocean, they recover a mysterious statue during a storm. This discovery gradually reveals each person’s true nature: pride, faith, hypocrisy, ignorance, greed, and discernment. A tragedy in which everyone carries their own burden.
