Faithful to the madness and the lively humor of the original piece, this revisitation of the famous Lewis Carroll’s classic tale, written and directed by Hugo Bélanger and translated by Maureen Labonté, has a unique twist: The setting is no longer a garden but a library full of pop-up books! Each book is then a discovery and a door to the next adventure. Alice refuses to do her homework. Preferring to play and day-dream, she hides in her father’s study. Out of nowhere comes a curious looking rabbit, eater of novels. Wanting to keep the rodent from devouring all the books, Alice chases the rabbit through his borough and discovers a wonderland. Will you follow the white rabbit?
