THÉÂTRE LA SEIZIÈME : CECI EST UNE HISTOIRE D’AMOUR

Mark and Anna are made for each other. They are even destined to fall in love. Everything is like in a novel, until Mark notices the presence of a mysterious  narrator, who dictates each of his moves and each of his thoughts. Determined to take back control, Mark and Anna rebel and find themselves into a new reality. But what happens when everyone decides to write their own story?

Between philosophical fable and romantic comedy, this play full of fantasy grapples the question of free-will and destiny in our lives with humour and honesty. How does the culture in which we live construct our vision and our expectations of love? By upending the elements of the narrative stucture, the author undoes and untangles the story until we touch to the very essence of the first experience of love.
