Infinithéâtre brings audiences a live-action puppet version of Chester Brown's seminal work, Louis Riel : A Comic-Strip Biography. A salute to Brown's artistry, the puppets are right off the page – eerily naïve but remarkably evocative. This epic tale steams through early Canadian history, revealing a rugged and treacherous landscape both in life and politics. In this intrepid and irreverent look at some of our nation's founders, Louis Riel : A Comic-Strip Stage Play is part adventure story, part history lesson, and a completely fascinating theatrical event.
