From Alaska at The Belfry Theatre
Pay-What-You-Can
From Alaska
By Sébastien Harrisson, translated by Leanna Brodie
Sep 17 – Oct 13 2024
“A play about coming to terms with identity, be it social, political, sexual, linguistic, generational, or intellectual.” – Montreal Gazette
This award-winning francophone play casts us into the world of magic realism. In Quebecois playwright Sébastien Harrisson’s unique world, time dances with the fast-forwards of grief, the slowness of healing, and the unpredictable rhythms of shared wisdom. When a retired librarian is held hostage by a tough-talking teenager, they gradually discover that what they have both lost is the one thing they have in common.
From Alaska runs September 17 – October 13 with Pay What You Can tickets available for all performances.
Destination Greater Victoria is honoured to be based on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and Xwsepsum Nation, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
