What is Freedom?
La Fugue grapples a difficult subject with skill and finesse

Creating theatre for young audiences is, I expect, a somewhat challenging prospect. How do adult theatre makers get into the heads of children they’ve never met in order to create a work that will not simply hold their attention, but give them something to think about and work with long after the lights have come up? It seems that Theatre Qui Va Là, in conjunction with SMCQ Jeunesse, have figured out that answer to these problems with their work La Fugue, now playing at the Young People’s Theatre.
