Media Release

Le  théâtre de L'Amalgame is pleased to announce its latest production; Michel Tremblay’s Albertine en Cinq Temps.  The play directed by Mario Sarda is a character study of Albertine, a seventy-year-old woman. Multiple actresses portray her at various ages of her life. They dialogue with each other and with “their” sister Madeleine, who is very different from “them”. The show will be performed at the Seaway Valley Theatre, 30, 6th Street E on Friday and Saturday March 25 and 26 and on Friday and Saturday April 1 and 2 at 7:00 p.m. Matinee performances will be held on Sunday March 28 and Sunday April 3 at 2:00 pm.

Tickets are also available on-line at https://lamalgamedesarts.ca/ , at the door on the evening of performances and from members of the troupe.

Résumé

Albertine se retrouve à l'âge de 70 ans dans un centre d'accueil pour vieillards. Elle fait le bilan en revoyant des moments marquants de sa vie à l'âge de 30 ans, de 40 ans, de 50 ans et de 60 ans. Une vie marquée d’angoisses, d’amertume, mais aussi de petits moments de bien-être puis, finalement, d’une acceptation des faits de sa vie avec une certaine sérénité. Sa sœur l’accompagne et tente de lui refléter une autre vision des choses.

Synopsis

Michel Tremblay’s well-loved and award-winning play is the story, Albertine, at five different times in her life. The older Albertines warn the younger ones of the future. Albertine at 70 tells Albertine at 30 “Our fate depends on you,”. Together, the five Albertines offer a touching portrait of the extraordinary life of an “ordinary” woman. Tremblay presents a five-sided picture of a shattered woman; five versions of herself at ages 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 that collide on stage.
