Description:

How many times does one have to kill before feeling avenged? That is the question that Ritsuko must answer. She has decided to seek revenge for the death of her parents, murdered right before her eyes.

Is it possible to render the aesthetic appeal of Japanese comics on stage? That is the challenge taken up by Belzébrute with its second part of the Trilogy of Vengeance, begun by Shavirez, Gypsy of the Seas. As always, we never retreat when faced with difficulties. We have, therefore, used all of our creative talents to achieve stunning visual effects and daring scenographic finds, linked to a soundtrack of multiple new developments.
Following the success of Shavirez, we wanted a project that was off the beaten path and would challenge us further.

Manga steps away from a humourous text and cartoon-like pace to enter into the image of fantasy and poetry found in Japanese animated film. There is certainly a dose of clownesque humour, but a large part of the show relies on the ingenuity of the direction. Each situation contains a myriad of surprises.

The omnipresent music from Amélie, video projection, shadow plays, effects of fabric to symbolize bloody effects, puppetry, combat choreography, a pseudo-Japanese text…all on the menu for a second opus of the trilogy of vengeance!

The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals is built on four principles:

  1. No Artistic Direction. Artists are selected by ‘first come, first served’.
  2. No Censorship. Artists have complete freedom to present their work.
  3. Accessibility to artists. Anyone can apply to the Fringe.
  4. Accessibility to audience. Ticket prices are kept low and 100% of the ticket price is returned to the artists you see on stage.
