Théâtre la Seizième presents Je viendrai moins souvent by Quebec creator Camille Paré-Poirier, a rich journey through memory, at Studio 16 from December 11 to 14 at 7:30 pm. Showings are in French with English surtitles (except December 13).

Camille moves to Montreal at age 22 just as Pauline, her 92-year-old grandmother, is transferred to a long-term care facility. With both parties feeling uprooted, Camille pays her grandmother regular visits, during which she witnesses her decline and unraveling memories. Camille decides to record her grandmother’s words, allowing her to tell her story before she can no longer do so.

In this adaptation of her podcast Quelqu’une d’immortelle, Paré-Poirier uses personal audio archives to deliver an honest account of being her own grandmother’s caregiver. A free French discussion with Paré-Poirier, To Create is to Choose, takes place on December 14 at 5 pm.

Tickets and more details are at Théâtre la Seizième.
