PASSIONS AND SCANDALS

Oh, love stories…
Love is sometimes painful, especially when the executioner is involved! The Château Ramezay invites you to participate in historical trials that actually took place in New France by attending Passions and Scandals.
From July 6 to August 25, the audience will be able to judge three documented cases that scandalized Montréal between 1658 and 1702. Whether it is Bourjoly’s hexing schemes, the misadventures of Mathurine and her bigamist husband, or the gory murder of sieur La Chaume, every case involves a lover accused of committing a vengeful act. But if these stories of love gone wrong happened centuries ago, would their punishments be the same? Would sieur La Chaume’s wife be banished from Montréal? Would Bourjoly hang? The court of justice will lay down the law.
DATES
These performances will take place at the Château Ramezay at 6 p.m.
