Tom in Greece (Tom à la Ferme)
“Homosexuals learn to lie before they learn to love.” So says prodigious Canadian scribe Michel Marc Bouchard. In his breakout play, Tom at the Farm (Tom à la Ferme), successful urbanite Tom travels to the Greek countryside to attend his lover’s funeral. Shattered by loss, he must pose as a colleague to shield his boyfriend’s mother and brother from the truth at any cost. This “toxic” environment soon gives rise to power games, repressed desires and gradually, as the boundaries between violence and lust blur and dissolve, a tragicomic unveiling. Bouchard’s play (also spun into a movie by Xavier Dolan) is transplanted to Greece for the first time by buzzed-about Greek director Sarantos Georgios Zervoulakos, and is inspired, in part, by the realities of contemporary Greece. See it with English subtitles (on 12-13 December and weekend performances) at progressive culture hub Onassis Stegi.
