Shape of Content: Brecht in Bronze [1971]
Multiple Brecht works / plusieurs œuvres de Brecht
The series, sculpted by Martin Kastner and inspired by Brecht's works, "consists of 15 bronze masks depicting various characters in Brecht plays, eight groups of two figures each, which illustrate Brecht quotations, and three large abstract pieces which are accompanied by large blowups of the poems they illustrate." (Ottawa Journal, 6 Feb. 1971) Characters portrayed by masks include Mack the Knife, Baal, the Coolie in The Exception and the Rule, Galileo, and Joan of Arc. The bronzes were also exhibited in the St. Lawrence Centre, Toronto, and in the Lincoln Centre, New York City, and then again in 1986 during the Brecht 30 Years After conference in Toronto.

Le spectacle a été présenté en programme double avec une pièce pour enfants, l'adaptation de la farce médiévale "Des maris morfondues" de Léon Chancerel, mise en scène par Hedwige Herbiet, administratrice de La Comédie des Deux Rives à l'Université d'Ottawa. "A group of 11 students from the fine arts department of the University of Ottawa will tour two productions not only in the Ottawa-Hull area but as far afield as the north shore of the St. Lawrence and the Gaspe. As part of the Opportunity For Youth project, the company will visit a total of 32 towns during July and August." (Ottawa Citizen, 3 juillet 1971) "The troupe already has played in Cornwall, Richmond, Hawkesbury and L’Orignal. From July 5 to 29 performances will be given in 16 Quebec centres on the north shore of the St. Lawrence. The tour then will shift to Northern Ontario, with engagements scheduled for Kirkland Lake, Timmins, Ansonville, Cochrane, Kapuskasing, Hearst and New Liskeard from Aug. 2 to 9. The plays then will be presented in Ottawa." (Ottawa Journal, 3 juillet 1971). Une représentation a eu lieu à l'auditorium du Musée des beaux-arts à Ottawa (Ottawa Journal, 7 août 1971)

Brecht work(s)/oeuvre(s): Die Antigone des Sophokles. Nach der Hölderlinschen Übertragung für die Bühne bearbeitet
Le spectacle a été présenté aussi avant le 12 août, en septembre, le 3 décembre au Théâtre de la Cité universitaire, et en tournée la saison qui suivait. "Ce spectacle a été conçu à partir d’une 're-lecture' des Antigones de Sophocle et de Bertolt Brecht et porte sur le sens de la répression, répression toujours active comme en témoigne la réalité québécoise. De ces textes, le groupe à retenu quatre personnages: Créon, Antigone, Tirésias et le Peuple pour traiter du phénomène de la répression qu’elle soit de caractère économique, culturelle ou autre. Ils en on extraits les personnages pouvant servir de prototypes." (Garon) "La démarche ne s’est pas modifiée dans la mesure où tout a été fondé sur l’improvisation. Les textes des Sophocle et de Brecht n’ont pas constitué des carcans. Au contraire, la façon d’aborder le théâtre ‘fait’ est demeurée la même: se servir du texte." (Garon)
