As part of the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, Théâtre la Seizième presents L’amour telle une cathédrale ensevelie at the SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts on February 3 at 7:30 pm and February 4 at 2 pm.

The story is set in Montreal, Quebec, where a couple is arguing. They talk, but they don’t hear each other. Their emotions are brutal, overwhelming them. Across the ocean, men, women, and children set sail on rickety boats. Searching for a better future, these uprooted people attempt to reach new lands and loved ones by way of the waves, only to start all over again somewhere else.

A devastating production by NOUS Théâtre filled with lyricism and political scope, L’amour telle une cathédrale ensevelie tells the tragic story of exiled and dislocated Haitian families through opera-theatre in Creole and French. A chorus sings of hope and despair, accompanied by Haitian classical guitarist Amos Coulanges.

Tickets and details are at Théâtre la Seizième and PuSh Festival.
