Titanica: The Great Battle Gown, Edmund C. Asher, London, 1968
by Sebastien Harrisson, translated by Crystal Beliveau
On a dilapidated dock in London, a walking
sculpture reminisces about a life devoted to art, squatters plan their
uprising against the monarchy and medieval ghosts hatch elaborate revenge
scenarios of their own. Meanwhile, at Buckingham Palace, the Queen of
England sees her study of botany interrupted by the arrival of steamy
letters penned by an anonymous poet. In her plans to rid her country
of an “unspeakable evil,” will she brush up against the very thing
she is trying to exile? A play about art, history, sexuality, how we
fight our battles and, ultimately, how we choose to live our lives.
“A playwright with an original voice,
who captures the contemporary world with an almost fantastical lyricism.”
— Fabienne Darges, Le Monde
“With his topical subject matter and
keen insights, Sébastien Harrisson could very well become an emblematic
figure of his generation. A name to remember.” — Sophie Pouliot,
Le Devoir
