Christian Lapointe à Ottawa/Gatineau (Koltès :La Nuit juste avant les forêts ) _
Montréal, le 10 novembre 2014 – Les lauréats des Prix de la critique remis par
l’Association québécoise des critiques de théâtre (AQCT) pour la saison 2013-2014
sont…
Dans la catégorie « Montréal » :
OXYGÈNE, de Ivan Viripaev, traduit par Élisa Gravelot, Tania Moguilevskaia et Gilles Morel, dans une mise en scène
de Christian Lapointe, une production du Groupe de la Veillée.
De cette partition pour le moins vertigineuse, dix tableaux cristallisant les paradoxes de notre époque, juxtaposant les
propos et les tons les plus contrastés, Christian Lapointe a su déployer le sens avec maestria. En renouvelant le
rapport entre la scène et la salle, en gardant le spectateur captif sous une vaste tente, en forgeant un langage gestuel
fascinant, aussi expressif que mécanique, le metteur en scène s’est avancé sur un nouveau territoire des plus fertiles.
Les membres de l’AQCT tiennent également à saluer l’audace dont Carmen Jolin a fait preuve en invitant Lapointe à
créer sous la bannière de la Veillée.
Les autres finalistes étaient :
PIG, de Simon Boulerice, dans une mise en scène de Gaétan Paré, une production d’Abat-Jour Théâtre;
TU IRAS LA CHERCHER, de Guillaume Corbeil, dans une mise en scène de Sophie Cadieux, une production d’Espace
Go.
Rona Waddington and Eric Craig (Hamlet, summer 2013)
The Board of the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival is delighted to announce the appointment of Rona Waddington to the position of Artistic Director, commencing in December 2014.
During a four month search and interview process, during which 18 candidates from across the country were considered, it was clear that Rona brought a wealth of outstanding experience to the table, together with a passion for Prescott gained during her time with the Festival last summer, when she directed Hamlet. This production was honoured with the Capital Critics Circle Award for Best Director.
