Program of "On the side of the road" a Theatre Performance in Toronto
Originally uploaded by Gustavo Thomas
A Happening-like style production but with a common American way of saying things: storytelling (monologues of the characters addressed to the public telling their views about the story and their views about anything) with some dramatized scenes.
A very open style of directing theatre where anything can happen: live music, singing, dancing, sculpture and acting in French or English are all mixed, almost with success.
What it seems very interesting, from my point of view, is the Canadian roots inside the play: it is a Canadian story with Canadian characters (well, one of them is French) in a very Canadian atmosphere, where deers and lakes and trees are symbols, are ways of understanding life and are more than subjects of interest.
It happened that I saw it, happened I liked it.
So, now I can keep my self repeating the last song:
"I am a deer, deer, I am a deer!..."
