Confessions d'un enfant du siècle dernier

Confessions d'un enfant du siècle dernier is a new play by Michel Tremblay, produced by Théâtre du Nouveau Monde.

It follows an adolescent between school and home as he discovers his desires, aspirations, and difference under the gaze of others. Tremblay revisits his literary alter ego, the fat woman's son, a sensitive and curious character from his autobiographical universe. The work examines the excitement, doubts, and small humiliations that accompany the transition to adulthood.

Designed as a plural and fragmented monologue, the production explores five facets of a young person searching for himself. René Richard Cyr, a long-time Michel Tremblay collaborator, directs the piece. Ariane Moffatt composed the original soundtrack, while Étienne Courville, Élie Dorval, Émile Ouellette, Nour Shoukry, and Madani Tall are the interpreters. Anick La Bissonnière created the set, Judy Jonker the costumes, and Marie-Aube St-Amant Duplessis the lighting. The premiere runs at TNM from November 10 to December 5, 2026, before a Quebec tour in January and February 2027. Confessions d'un enfant du siècle dernier belongs to a major dramatic body of work that includes 41 plays by Tremblay.
