Comfortably settled in his career, his relationship, and his family, an ordinary man accidentally attends his first theatrical performance. The experience leads to a profound and intimate upheaval within him. Awestruck, he gradually transforms his perception of the world and those around him. What if beauty were what makes life worth living? Lentement la beauté is a powerfully evocative dramedy that offers an inspiring reflection on the meaning of daily life, the awakening to art, and a marvelous tribute to the imagination and wonders of the world.
Lentement la beauté reflects a strong and supportive Francophonie, notably demonstrated through co-productions between French-speaking companies across the country. Théâtre la Seizième has a special relationship with our Albertan neighbors at l’UniThéâtre, with a partnership of over 20 years that has led to memorable productions.
