Play synopsis: This story of blueberry muffins and lost socks transports the audience into the world of a small French-speaking community. After years of adventures abroad, Louise returns home to find her roots and takes over the laundry business that belonged to her grandmother. She also reunites with her childhood best friend, Maxime, who had always worked in his family’s bakery without changing a single ingredient. His world is turned upside down when he goes through a breakup with his girlfriend, Marie-Josée, a kindergarten teacher who’s looking for more creativity in her life. Guillaume, a renowned musician, also returns to stay with his friend Maxime, since he lacks inspiration in the big city. At the heart of this play we find themes of discovery and reunion, love and friendship.
La première mondiale du texte de Sophie Gareau-Brennan! Cette histoire de muffins aux bleuets et de chaussettes perdues transporte le public dans le monde d’une petite communauté francophone. Louise revient trouver ses racines et prendre charge de la buanderie qui appartenait à sa grand-mère après des années d’aventures à l’étranger. Elle retrouve aussi son meilleur ami d’enfance, Maxime, qui a toujours travaillé dans la boulangerie de sa famille sans même changer un ingrédient. Son monde bascule quand il vit une rupture avec sa blonde, Marie-Josée, une enseignante de maternelle qui cherche plus de créativité dans sa vie. Guillaume, musicien reconnu, revient lui aussi rester chez son ami Maxime, parce qu’il manque d’inspiration dans la grande ville. Au cœur de cette œuvre, on retrouve les thèmes de découvertes et retrouvailles, d’amour et d’amitié.
