MARCEL DUBÉ WAS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FIGURES during Québécois theatre’s emancipation from the dark Duplessis years. His works are typified by an honest and simple poetic voice, reflective of a daily and a social reality that never cease to surprise by their lasting relevance.  Zone is an exploration of misdirected youth.

Moineau, Tit-Noir, Passe-Partout, and Ciboulette form the Tarzan Gang, smuggling along the Canada-US border, until one of them does the unthinkable.The drama of the piece stems from an unattainable dream: “He wanted out of a certain zone of society where human happiness is almost impossible,” explains the chief of police.

After Les Médecins de Molière and Les Fridolinades, directed by Jean Stéphane Roy and Perry Schneiderman respectively, Zone is the latest co-production between TfT and Théâtre la Catapulte from Ottawa. Highly anticipated, it was feted as the top choice of the Contact ontarois 2011 showcase.

A coproduction by Théâtre français de Toronto and Théâtre la Catapulte.
