Théâtre Everest is a theatre company, but it is above all a family project spearheaded by the Barshee sisters: Chloé, Fanny and Jade. The Barshee sisters’ theatre practice is shaped within a contemporary Quebec social context, defined by a mix of different overlapping cultural realities. Théâtre Everest’s mission is to bridge these multiple realities and to chip away at siloed cultural identities to arrive at more universal human values.Bâtardes, the company’s most recent creation, will be presented at the MAI from March 20 to 24, 2018. Weaving together anecdotes, poetic monologues, and video archives, Bâtardes takes the form of a touching work of autofiction in which the artists set out in search of their own identity.
