Attention Fragile is a wordless theatre piece for school audiences, performed by Samsara Théâtre and l'Arrière-Scène at Théâtre Desjardins.
The story follows two characters who are delivered in boxes marked "Fragile" and "Attention", and these words become their names. Like a first man and woman in the age of online shopping and office towers, they receive a starter kit to set up their desk.
A catalogue full of sales and bargains awakens their appetite for consumption, and above all for coffee. Amid a jumble of objects they improvise their new existence while trying not to bump into each other, echoing a line by George Perec about moving from one space to another without bumping into things.
Performances take place on Monday, November 16 and Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 10:00.
