A Les Hébertistes production starring Mary-Lee Picknell and Vincent Paquette. He likes working on cars and smoking joints. She has been sober for 10 years and is into personal growth. He is barely 30; she is celebrating her 40th birthday. Trapped together in a 1.5-square-metre elevator, Karine and Malik can no longer ignore each other. These two polar opposites share a past, which they revisit only to discover that they see their story very differently. Looking for ways to pass the time and ease the awkwardness, the former lovers try to reconcile the irreconcilable while impatiently awaiting their release. Both funny and touching, Être ou ne pas être un douchebag explores interpersonal relationships and the continuum between love and one-night stands, with irony and a healthy dose of bad faith. Writer and actor Mary-Lee Picknell takes a fresh look at relationships between men and women, subtly reversing the traditional balance of power. For ages 14 and up. The performance will be followed by a discussion between the audience and the artists, moderated by Les Voyagements. The show is co-presented with Alliance Française Ottawa in partnership with Les Voyagements, théâtre de création en tournée.
