$The Problem with Pink Le Petit Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Sherbrooke and La [parenth\u00e8se] \/ Christophe Garcia$

US PREMIERE!
Four brilliant performers use dance, theater, and striking visuals to explore friendship, identity, and belonging. In this exhilarating dance drama that offers up a space to reflect on stereotypes and imagine the future with boldness, brightness and freedom. The problem with pink is that it’s everywhere! So if pink is just for girls, things might get complicated. Playing happily on their private pink carpet, each day is full of fun for friends Alix, Sasha, Lou and Noa. From afar, the outside world seeps into their games. A plane flies overhead? They grow long, long wings. It starts raining? No problem: they splash in the puddles, instantly waterproof. But everything changes when they get terrible news from the outside: the color pink is for girls. Suddenly, the perception of others becomes a major preoccupation, muddling their imaginations in the process. Fear of judgment and mistrust take hold. If pink is only for girls, how will this change the way they live and play together? Suitable for adults and children ages 6 and up (55 minutes, no intermission). Tickets: $15 inclusive of fees

“One of this year’s Imaginate Festival’s more crucial and well-executed performances (…) Erika Tremblay-Roy’s writing is remarkably tight, as the production communicates in multiple genres, particularly dance, to evoke the pleasures and despairs of discovering oneself.”― Dominic Corr, corrblimey.uk
