Le Beau Monde at PuSh International Performing Arts Festival

In the future, theatre no longer exists. Neither do elections, football, or kissing. Or, at least not as it used to be.

Three people stand before us—awkward, uncertain, sincere. They’ve heard rumours of these ancient rituals and are doing their best to recreate them. What emerges is both ridiculous and strangely touching: a ceremony of imitation, a eulogy for everyday life.

A collective creation initiated by actor Rémi Fortin, with polyphonic songs by Arthur Amard, Le Beau Monde resurrects our present as if it were already a ghost. Between laughter and melancholy, a contemplation: what will we leave behind for those who come next? What, if anything, is precious?

A sci-fi theatre of tenderness and absurdity, built from the debris of our daily lives.
