Entering the backspace of the Theatre Passe Muraille is like entering a kind of cave, the perfect setting for Think, Pig’s production of Oubliette. ‘Oubliette’ literally means ‘forgotten place’: a term used for the dungeon where captors would throw prisoners they wanted to forget. The lights come up on four such prisoners; four forgotten women, and all they can see is one small red light.
