AB is an older man living with a disability alone in an apartment cluttered with memories. Now reduced to solitude and silence and prisoner of his body that no longer obeys him, this well-known director spends his days in a wheelchair in front of a computer—his only window to the outside world. Like Krapp, the character in Samuel Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape, AB is investigating himself. He listens again to the recordings he’s made over the course of his life, like a type of audio diary, seeking to understand what was perhaps the turning point of his existence before he goes on to record the final cassette. What is the meaningful message that AB wants to leave as his legacy?
A theatrical portrait of André Brassard at the end of his life, La dernière cassette is a solo performed with brio by Violette Chauveau. Inspired by interviews conducted by the director Olivier Choinière, the show addresses solitude, living in advanced years, passion, and what we pass on to others.
Through this unique portrait that’s neither a biopic nor documentary theatre, Olivier Choinière has turned toward his artistic medium to evaluate the fate of our artists and, more globally, the conditions in which we live and die here in Québec.
