Dragonfly is English; Chicoutimi is American, syntax is Franco; we have the three candies in the same box.The Upstage Interview is a weekly feature at CharPo and is a result of The Charlebois Post's partnership with Upstage: Theatre on Radio on CKUT.
Upstage contributor Stephanie Breton spoke with playwright Larry Tremblay about The Dragonfly of Chicoutimi. Below is an abridged version of the interview transcribed by Estelle Rosen, CharPo Editor-in-Chief.
Playwright, actor, director, Larry Tremblay is one of Quebec’s most produced playwrights. Additionally, his work is recognized internationally.
The Dragonfly of Chicoutimi is about a purebred francophone man, Gaston Talbot from Chicoutimi, who experiences a trauma that leaves him capable of speaking only English, or rather French expressed in English words.
