The spectator is witness to a bustling crowd. Jérémie Niel places thirteen characters in an enclosed space and, despite their differences, they breathe together as one. But for how long?
A bustling crowd, like observing the inhabitants of a building, peering into their windows from across the street. Each has his or her rituals or dramas but together they form a whole, like an anthill where everyone has a place, a role to play.
After studying at the Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Montreal, the stage director Jérémie Niel founded Pétrus in 2005, and is the artistic director of the company. He has been invited to collaborate on numerous collective dance and theatre events. He also studied arts management at the École des hautes études commerciales in Montreal, and in conjunction with his artistic endeavours has worked as a programmer and administrator for several organizations: Omnibus, Compagnie Marie Chouinard, La Chapelle Scènes contemporaines, le OFFTA, Les 7 doigts de la main.
