How to Survive in the Wild
The English-language premiere of "Manuel de la vie sauvage" by Jean-Philippe Baril Guérard
September 14-29, 2024
at the Segal Centre Studio, Montréal
Kevin Bérard, Quebec’s own millionaire tech founder, arrives at the Segal Centre Studio to pull the curtain back on his own success, and to teach you how to win—by whatever means necessary.
Performed in French to sold-out houses at Théâtre Duceppe in 2021 and now onstage for the first time in English, How to Survive in the Wild takes on the universe of tech start-ups and the cut-throat choices required for survival in this dog-eat-dog world. A social satire with an unexpected twist, the play invites us in to witness the creation of an app with existentially dangerous repercussions: an AI chatbot that allows us to communicate with those who have passed, through the digital trace they leave behind. A riveting, humour-filled and searingly current story, How to Survive in the Wild might just be your ticket to success.
