2009 Governor General's Literary Award for Drama; 2009 Prix de la critique, young audiences category, awarded by the Association québécoise des critiques de théâtre; 2009 Prix Sony Labou Tansi des lycéens; 2008 Distinction de la Comédie-Française; 2007 Prix des Journées de Lyon des auteurs de théâtre.
Elikia is a child, among so many others, who has seen her life overturned from one day to the next in a chaotic, lawless civil war. The girl, kidnapped from her family, becomes a child soldier. She is a victim, but she is also an executioner in an untenable situation that blurs the most elementary laws of ethics. How can she grow up and remain human when the reference points disappear beneath a hopeless daily brutality? It is little Joseph, the youngest child to come to the rebels’ camp, who reminds her of her childhood, her family, her village, and her humanity, and gives her the courage to break the chain of violence into which she has been pulled.
Jean-Philip Debien
In film, Jean-Philip Debien played the role of Groleau in La forteresse suspendue by director Roger Cantin, a film in the Contes pour tous collection produced by Rock Demers. On television, he played Arthur Laliberté in Emma and appeared in 15 commercials as well as in Ayoye and Les poupées russes.
Isabelle Miquelon
Trained at the Conservatoire d’art dramatique de Montréal, Isabelle Miquelon has a rich performance background in theatre, television and film. Debuting on television as Patricia O’Connell in Lance et Compte, which earned her two Gemini Award nominations, she then appeared in a number of Quebec serial dramas, including Jeux de Société, Chop Suey, Les Super Mamies, and, most recently, Tranches de vie. In films, she was in the cast of Léa Pool’s Une belle mort, Paul Thinel’s Les Immortels, and two notable movies by Richard Jutras, La belle empoisonneuse and Hit and Run, which won the 2003 Jutra Award for best short film. In the theatre, Isabelle Miquelon has been in more than 25 productions in Montreal, enjoying both creating new roles and playing the great classics. After making her debut in Michel Marc Bouchard’s La poupée de Pélopia at Théâtre d’Aujourd’hui, she won the Jan Doat award for her portrayal of Marjolaine in In Extremis at Quat’sous and was in the cast for the premiere of Daniel Danis’s first plays, Celle-là and Cendres de Cailloux, at Espace Go. Following this was a long collaboration with Théâtre de l’Opsis, where she worked with directors Luce Pelletier (Les Grecques and Élektra), Serge Denoncourt (Oreste: The Reality Show), and Jean Gaudreault (Ruines).

When he graduated from the Conservatoire d’art dramatique de Québec in 2009, Jean-Philip Debien was invited by Frédéric Dubois to perform for the night-time walking tour Où tu vas quand tu dors en marchant, offered as part of the Carrefour international de théâtre de Québec. He then rejoined his graduating class to present the show . . . et autres effets secondaires at Théâtre Premier Acte in Quebec City, a production marking their entry into the profession, directed by Marie-Josée Bastien. During his training, he worked with directors Marie Gignac, Lorraine Côté, and Jacques Lessard and with the actor Linda Laplante, a long-time collaborator with Le Carrousel. 
A graduate in performance from Option-théâtre at Collège Lionel-Groulx in Sainte-Thérèse, Audrey Talbot played for young audiences immediately after leaving school in 2001 in a play inspired by a Grimm’s fairy tale, De celui qui partit en quête de la peur. She was then in the cast of L’oiseau vert, a commedia dell’arte play mounted by Hugo Bélanger and the Tout à Trac company; Le pays des genoux, created by Gervais Gaudreault and Le Carrousel; La petite voix and Double vie, two plays by Michel Cormier and Théâtre Parminou; and Zurbains 2009, directed by Monique Gosselin and produced by Le Clou.
