French silent slapstick show Bigre is a big yawn at Canadian Stage GlobeArts
The scenario is this: On the top floor of a house, three characters without names rent three tiny rooms and share a toilet in the hall.
The third resident, who just moved in, is a young woman, and that seems to be her defining characteristic – let’s call her, I dunno, Mademoiselle . She dresses in short skirts and dresses, likes to sunbathe topless on the roof – and is always trying out new professions that she just can’t seem to wrap her head around.
Designer Laura Léonard’s set is probably the main star of the show. Its hidden quirks are the source of most of the humour – a toilet that appears out of the wall when someone claps; a sink that shoots water across one room when a plunger is used in the room next door.
