  • Michel Tremblay Auteur
    MICHEL TREMBLAY AUTEUR NOTES BIOGRAPHIQUES Figure dominante du théâtre québécois depuis la fin des années 1960, Michel Tremblay s'est aussi imposé comme romancier, traducteur, adaptateur et scénariste. Né dans un quartier populaire de l'est de Montréal, il découvre très tôt sa vocation d'écrivain. Dès ses études secondaires, il écrit des poèmes, des pièces de théâtre, des romans. À l’adolescence, il entreprend la rédaction de contes fantastiques qu'il réunit plus tard en un recueil : Contes pour buveurs attardés. À 18 ans, il s'inscrit à l'Institut des Arts graphiques, où il apprend le métier de linotypiste, qu’il exerce de 1963 à 1966. En 1964, Michel Tremblay soumet une pièce, Le train, au concours des Jeunes auteurs de Radio-Canada : il y remporte le premier prix. La même année, il rencontre André Brassard qui deviendra le metteur en scène de presque toutes ses pièces, jusqu’en 2003. En 1965, André Brassard utilise quelques-uns des Contes pour buveurs attardés dans un spectacle consacré à la littérature fantastique : Messe noire. La même année, Michel Tremblay écrit Les belles-sœurs. Après la lecture publique des Belles-sœurs le 4 mars 1968 au Centre d’essai des auteurs dramatiques, la pièce est créée au Théâtre du Rideau Vert, le 28 août 1968. Elle connaît alors un succès retentissant, au point d’avoir fait l’objet de près de 600 productions au Québec et à l'étranger. Écrites en joual, un registre de langue propre à Montréal, Les belles-sœurs donnent une vision renouvelée du quartier ouvrier où est né Tremblay.

By definition, a Fringe Festival is a non-profit organization of performers, producers, and managers dedicated to providing local, national, and international emerging artists a non-juried opportunity to present new works to arts-friendly audiences. All Fringe Festivals are committed to a common philosophy that promotes accessible, inexpensive, and fun performing arts attendance. For the purposes of this study, qualitative research methods, supported by action research and combined with fieldwork and participant observations, will be used to investigate, describe, and document what Fringe Festivals are all about.

    SHOW TICKETS AT www.sffringe.org or our EXIT Theatre mobile app! A note from our Founder First, Thank You, for supporting the San Francisco Fringe Festival. EXIT Theatre is very proud and grateful to have had the opportunity for the past 27 years to support indie artists in this unique way. As a CAFF member festival, the SF Fringe is an open access event where our performing companies are chosen by lottery. This sometimes surprises people but it works, and a tremendous amount of new and relevant work comes out of the SF Fringe as well as many Bay Area pro- ducing groups who are cornerstones in the indie performing arts culture. We are also proud to say that we return 100% of the ticket price to the Fringe performing companies, which means that indie artists are able to earn money to continue to create their work. So please be sure to see as many shows as possible and help indie arts thrive and survive. Of course this would not be possible without the continued support of our dedicated volunteers, staff, funders, and audience. If you’ve been to an SF Fringe before you’re already familiar with our Tip The Fringe campaign. This is one of the ways we are able to continue to keep the festival going each year, so please be generous and donate what you can. And remember the SF Fringe is just one of the many different events that are on the EXIT stages year round. Come back and be a part of this vibrant, creative and important community, and check us out through- out the year at www.theexit.org Live performance is all about the human connection, realizing we are one together.
