OUR PRODUCTION - in development

ELMIRE

FROM UNITED KINGDOM TO CANADA

Productions UP is currently developing a bilingual Canadian adaptation of Molière's play Tartuffe, now entitled Elmire .

Annick Lefebvre and Johanna Nutter are developing the adaptation of the text in both languages (French and English) simultaneously.

Gérald Garutti director, author and translator, is the initiator of a groundbreaking version of Tartuffe that was presented in London in 2018 at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, starring actress Audrey Fleurot and actor Paul Anderson.

This show is a bridge between Canada's linguistic communities and through its production we hope to showcase Canada's cultural richness and address critical social issues.
