Beaver Dream is a wacky tale about a beaver family and a human family living in the middle of the forest in Québec. Both families are going through the same nightmare: commercial development is threatening their little piece of heaven. Every summer a never-ending struggle begins anew between construction and destruction, between their families and their common adversaries. And what if beavers actually thought the way we do?
An unceremonious and comical performance from the next generation. Beaver Dream received two Frankie Awards at the 2016 Montreal Fringe Festival.
