Bonjour, Là, Bonjour

By Michel Tremblay

Bonjour, là, bonjour is a story of self-actualization, of a young man asserting himself amidst the maelstrom of his family's dysfunction. After a three month soul-searching sojourn in Paris, Serge returns home to the whining, nagging, defeated voices of his hypochondriacal aunts, his three chronically dissatisfied older sisters and his deaf father, Gabriel. Serge, however, has reached a crucial decision: that he and Nicole, his youngest sister, should live their incestuous relationship openly. In an unexpected moment of reconciliation, Serge is able to tell his father how much he loves him and suggests that Gabriel come live with him and Nicole, leaving hypocrisy and bitterness behind.
