When we look everywhere, we look nowhere… One sunny day, Pernille left home without her shoes. Maybe she stopped to pick flowers? She always did that. As they wait for her to return, her big sisters scour the woods, searching for her, day after day, and their mother waits, slowly taking on the colour of the walls.

Co-produced by Théâtre l’Escaouette (Moncton) and Théâtre Catapulte (Ottawa), Les ensevelies plunges the audience in world between a fairy tale and a thriller. Wielding her words like a scalpel, author Caroline Bélisle explores the theme of feminicide in a way that allows beauty and resistance to grow when violence tries to take hold. “There’s a log of unidentified bodies It’s like a catalogue of the dead You can look at all the cadavers in case you recognize one that belongs to you.”
