Grand-peur et misère du IIIe Reich
Grand Théâtre de Québec
Text by Bertolt Brecht and Margarete Steffin Translation by Olivier Sylvestre Directed by Martin Genest A production by Le Trident With Jean-Sébastien Ouellette, Charles Roberge, Israël Gamache, Emmanuel Bédard, Valérie Laroche, Gabriel Cloutier Tremblay, Linda Laplante and Mélissa Merlo Design Jean Bélanger, Laurent Routhier, Jean-Pierre Cloutier, Sébastien Dionne and Sebastian Pircher Germany, 1933-1938. In the streets, homes, schools, and courts, the regime subjugates an entire people. Through twenty-four striking scenes, Brecht and Steffin plunge the viewer into the heart of a daily life consumed by Nazi terror. A couple no longer dares to speak to each other for fear of being denounced, a judge trembles at the thought of rendering a just verdict, a scientist must choose between their conscience and their survival, children spy on their own parents. Each tableau is a fragment of raw reality, a window into the intimate mechanics of oppression, as experienced in kitchens, streets, and everyday scenes. And we discover, with chilling lucidity, how fear shapes, distorts, and corrupts ordinary people. Here, there are no heroes or grand speeches: just the naked truth of a world where cowardice becomes, by necessity, a survival strategy.
